i wasn't planning on posting on this thread, but just thank everyone for expessing their views.
but i'm yappy and couldn't help myself.
you hit it right on the nose becca. it can be a drag. it's hard. it's not fun. we care about ALL of you.
when we have to step in because of the name calling or the bickering and hurt feelings, it hurts us too. deeply.
we have worked so hard to make this a caring, informative support site. for even one person to be hurt over political posts...it's just not worth it imo.
i stayed away from nt after being sick for this very reason. people i have come to know and love have been hurt. i don't feel good about that.
i think there are solutions. the social groups being an excellent one.
no matter how the vote turns out, just know that i care about each and everyone of you.
