People's nerves are on edge in many cases. Most of the time people should try to be less jumpy and not immediately assume the worst about every post. I realize this is very hard when one is concerned about family or friends.
If you are in that situation, remember that all of us on these threads are here together and wishing the best for you. If the threads are not allowed to flow, the threads will be a ghost town and that doesn't serve any purpose either.
Exactly.
These threads can perfectly resemble via cyber -- that which is going on in real time. People trying to do rescue, evacuations, report news, others trying to find others, others trying to laugh off the horridness of this Monster, etc. Your counsel is good. Keep this thread as productive as possible. Someone peeves you -- pass on by that post.
