PLEASE block me...

I will give you a little advice coming from a hated and known Troll; don’t alienate yourself from this D/S life support. Not everybody here is nice but they are honest. I made the mistake of speaking out against the critical personalities and suffered complete shunning. This left me extremely vulnerable and alone. If I had to do it again I would have kept my trap shut and listen to the good advice. Now I am banished to lurking only………….for the most part most of these D/S people are great, they advised me to get the best life saving surgery available. Just get over the tuff love stuff and you will be fine   Sincerely,   Marlene

Since it's been said better by others before me, I'm just going to ditto Nicolle and Sia. Peace out!

You know it is issues like this that make me contemplate whether I should post or not.  Last time this went on I left for several months.  I would strongly recommend that if you don't like someones postings just don't read them.  If there's a troll in our presence simply respond with DNR... it stands for Do Not Respond... which means nonsense is about to happen or just has. 
I don't want to feel like I can't post an honest concern because of what others may think.  It shouldn't be that way!  Let's all just be supportive.  If you feel someone is a whiner... move on.  No one is forcing you to read it. 

Jackie, please don't let this stop you from posting.  I love reading your posts.  When I first joined OH this crap was going on, and it hasn't stopped.  As a newbie, it put such a bad taste in my mouth.  If I had anywhere else to go, I would have!  I decided to try to ignore it and get involved and post questions and offer prayers and support.

Why should we be afraid to post honest concerns or questions for fear of what the bullies will do or say.  I say "screw em".  I now know there are more of "us" then "them" and hope that this will open the door for those too afraid to post, to feel they will be supported if the dog piling begins.

I agree with moving on from those you don't "like".  Didn't your mothers teach if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing at all?!

I'm just saying shame on those who bully others to be silent.  I'm a big girl and can handle it... I'm just saying be nice or move on if you don't want to read posts.  Those who honestly have concerns shouldn't be afraid of getting flamed.

 

I don't need to block you...I generally just don't open any of your threads.  Why?  Because as you warned us a while back...

Topic: Pain post op question

 

I suffer from pretty severe anxiety, especially when it comes to my health.  Every heart twinge makes me wonder if it is the beginning of a heart attack. 



And that shows...GAWD how it shows.

You seem to be very comfortable "suffering" from your anxiety and utilizing the services of those who find fulfillment in hand-holding and reassuring and soothing others to meet their own needs.   I've got my own **** I'm dealing with and--while I am willing to help anyone I feel I can help--I just don't have time for non-stop hysteria over nothing.

Carry on.  But do so knowing that a good number of people who aren't into drama will probably not open your threads...and you may lose out on valuable information in the process.

Mindi, thank you for the awesome support you've given me and I look forward to being there for you for your upcoming surgery. I don't know what happened, but we need you here. Take care and thank you.

Lacey, smooches, thanks so much for posting this!  I will need all the support I can get as I begin this new life in less than 2 short weeks!
