It Has Come To My Attention...If you ARE NOT a fan of mine, please read this!
It has come to my attention that a number of you find my posts annoying and irritating, aggressive, uninformative, etc. etc. etc. or that I am an attention ***** (loved that one).
First I am sorry you feel that way and I would ask that you do one thing:
Mouse Over My Photo above and pause for a second, a little panel will pop up. The second button over, the one in the middle that says "Block". Please click that button.
Once you click it you will no longer see my annoying, irritating, uninformative posts and you will no longer have to complain to other members about me.
Finally if you really have an issue with me please I would really like you to PM me about it so that we can discuss it personally. I promise I will not be negative, I will take your comments to heart and I will not have any ill feelings toward you because of your opinion but it is not fair to me for you to tell your opinion to someone else because you may not agree with me.
Wow! I am shocked that anyone would have the "anonymous" nerve to say something like that. I can not imagine why anyone would criticize someone who obviously takes a lot of personal time and effort to add to these boards, when all they have to do it not read your post. No need to criticize your effort or work just don't read it. How many 100's of people read these boards and don't post and you post two - three helpful and encouraging topics everyday, and answer everyone questions. You put so much work into these boards I was wondering if you were paid to do it. So it makes me angry that anyone would criticize all the hard work you do, and I am sorry that they did that too you. I was actually looking for your post this morning and wondered where they were.
Thank you for your help and I do hope that you will continue sharing your experience and suggestions.
I'm sorry to hear of this negativity. I am so grateful for the energy you put into this forum and your commitment to helping others succeed in this challenging process. I hope you'll keep posting.

Keith - your post today reminds me of a saying: "opinions are like ********everyone has one". It's my observation that some people have bigger opinions...and are bigger ********than others :-)
I enjoy your posts but admit I don't always have time to read all of them. I think that if what you post and what you do is helping YOU, and you are getting feedback that it's helping others, than that's what is important.
Here's another thought: if people don't like what you post then they can just NOT READ IT! For crying out loud, it's not like it takes any effort to skip things you don't care to read.
Take care and know that there are lots of people on here that care about you
