MARCHERS ARE MARCHERS ARE MARCHERS

Dr. Dinka... Just an FYI -- I can't tell you the exact date, but we became "The Marchers" waaaaaaaaaaaaay back at the beginning of the year...think it was early- to mid-January. That was when Kelley and I started getting stoopid together and everyone who was beginning to get their dates and logged on were amazed at how stoopid Kelley and I were getting... Then everyone started getting silly (not quite stoopid...wise folks!) WITH us. But up until that point, this board was pretty, um, not-rocking! Just a little historic FYI...

Lissa, I for one will be sorry to see you leave. It is unfortunate that you were berated by one who cannot understand what we are going through because she has not had the surgery. I have no problems with anyone posting to the Marcher board, as long as they are not being critical without the understanding of what Marchers are now going through. I agree that we are not going through anything "fun" right now, and hopefully some day soon we will all be healed enough to be a fun board again. For now we are a support board. I hope you will stop in once in awhile and let us know how you are doing. mgm

Hi Marchers, I am doing a little catching up on the board and must say I am appalled at what I see. First off..I know I came to the March board to find people in the same boat as me. I found the people here to be more supportive then any other board. HOWEVER, That is NOT the reason I stayed. I can get support anywhere. I stayed not only for support but for the fun place this WAS. Yes, Was. I am not stirring up trouble so please do not see it this way; however, I must say something. One of the most SUPPORTIVE people on here has been Kathy. She has struggled through not having this surgery. I am SICK AND TIRED of people always saying she knows nothing because she has not had this surgery. She has probably researched this just as much IF NOT MORE then most of us here. No wonder people do not want to stick around. If I were Kathy and people kept bringing it to MY attention that I am basically "not one of them" because I did not have the surgery..I sure as hell would want to get out. Just an FYI... Kathy has been one of the most supportive people on this board..along with countless others. I am sick of people slamming others just because they may not have been through the same thing. This is sick. That is what will drive the new Marchers away. I agree...A MARCHER IS A MARCHER no matter how long you have been here....and yes some of us may have developed closer friendships but to view us as being a clique is just ludicrous. We have openly and ALWAYS welcomed others on this post. I have never EVER read a post from someone new where 0 or 1 person replied. We have always had a WHOLE bunch of people reply. I am done with this post. I just wish we could find a way to enjoy this board like we used to. From one Marcher to the rest.... I think we are all great people. Not one person is different from the other regardless of surgery dates or comments made. I hope this has been brought into perspective. I know I will be taken offense to; however, I figure if others can be so outragiously opinionated..why not I? I love you all.... Bethany

You should never be appalled that other people are free to give their own opinions. Kathy has been abusive and nasty on several occasions and, as someone so wisely put it, she needs to learn how to take it. Do you think the other Marchers here don't notice? If that offends you, it's because you've got your head up your friend's ass. I AM THE VOICE OF THE MARCHERS! BE NOT AFRAID TO POST AGAINST THOSE WHO BULLY! WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED!

LMAO!!!! Oh dear...you cracked me up. You are right..you know me so well...I have my head so far up my friends ass..it is coming out of her mouth. You are being sad and pathetic to say something about me. You know nothing about me. Just like you know nothing about most of these Marchers. I know nothing about most of these Marchers and wouldn't DARE try and judge them. So..I am guessing everyone has a right to their opinion for the EXCEPTION of Kathy and her friends? CORRECT?? Because that is the impression you give. About BULLYING...Who is being a bully? Because someone makes a comment about this place not being fun anymore..that is bullying? I, personally, believe you need to think before you act. Since when are you the voice of the Marchers? I do not believe I have ever seen you on this board? Or have I? Aww..did you change your name because you didn't want anyone else to know who you are?? Hmm.. I have a hunch. Anyways....you are being petty. I hope one day you will mature. Doubt it..but oh well. Just comes to show... having this surgery doesn't always fix ones attitude. Bethany

Hi there Bethany! You said, "you know me so well...I have my head so far up my friends ass..it is coming out of her mouth." Hey, admitting it is the first step. You said, "I am guessing everyone has a right to their opinion for the EXCEPTION of Kathy and her friends?" Oh, "Kathy and her friends" have the right to their opinions too. Or maybe I should say "opinion" since they share a brain. I actually never said they didn't. You say, "Just comes to show... having this surgery doesn't always fix ones attitude." Your post proved that as well. You have a lousy attitude and you think that by bullying other people you can fill the hole in your life. I'm going to fill that hole for you with the truth, and you're going to like it. I am taking it upon myself to defend the underdogs on this site, those whose opinions are being trampled. You will not shout ME down, sweetheart. But please continue to try. Kiss kiss!

Bless you Marla, for speaking the truth. Expect to be ignored by a contingent of the board now, though. Those few people here who think they run things will not respond to your posts (although they probably will now just because I've challenged their behavior. In fact, maybe they'll be sticky sweet to you. Many of us have watched this behavior for months now.) They may just claim that you're not one of them, implying that you don't belong here just because they don't want you here. Be proud that you spoke up for yourself. There are more people here who agree with you than you know.

I'm not worried about being ignored. The true adults on this board do not ignore becasue someone voices an opinion, even if they don't agree. If someone wants to ignore me, then they are not worth my time anyway mgm

Boy - if I can just learn to read everything else first and then reply I wouldn't duplicate what someone else is trying to say. Thanks for posting it Maureen - I feel the same way. Dina
