Joie....JOY!!..Don't leave! | Arthritis Information

I have lurked on the AF board, and seen you as a very nice person
you always give a link to your posts

Don't let a few mean people do this to you. I think it was horrible how they treated you in the Tri-care post

Your a good person!Damn right!

I'm sorry Joie..

I hope you do not leave, Joy. They will soon crawl back into their deep, dark hole that they came out of. They always do. Seems like every few months crap gets started. Just have to learn to not let them get to you.

Much hugs to you.

Hope you stay!

Babs, there is no moderator on this board, sadly. That's why you see so much flaming. Joy, I hope you'll stay.Please stay Joy!! Trust me, I wanted to leave after those cruel words were spoken to me as well... but then I'm just giving him what he wants. Don't let him get to you! Don't let him get to us by taking our Joy away! Please!! I hate it when anyone leaves a forum..unless they are clearly trolls or spammers. Everyone here has something of value to contribute. There's just no reason for adults who come here for support, to attack one another. It's completely unproductive, painful, and pointless!I tend not to read the posts once they turn nasty- if people have issues with each other they can always us PM.

When I see someone has a tendency to be nasty I don't read any of their posts.

I try to keep as much negativity out of my life as possible- if it's in my control to avoid things/people that make me feel bad- I do.

I don't mind opposing views I just expect courtesy and respect when someone is expressing them.

I am sorry to see everyone leaving and miss those that left.

I almost left at one point too but then it seemed like things turned around. I know it felt very hurtful to be attacked.

I think if we the majority stop putting up with unacceptable posts by just not responding to them (giving them an audience) this will continue to be a good place to come to.

And I guess if any of us ever gets that lack of response- we will know we have crossed the line (LOL)

I searched back because I never saw the tri-care thread....but the search didn't bring up anything that would prompt anyone to leave. Did I miss something?

BUT: if you say there was rudness; I believe it. It happens by a few quite often. Don't let it upset you.

The majority here are kid hearted people who mainly mean well. Try not to be offended....we need more folks like you here.

Let's HELP not HURT. Joie-

Stay here. We love you.
