People here, who haven't been around as long as some people, claim to have read back, but I don't see how anyone could read 6 years worth of posts, and understand the feelings the were aroused at the time of those postings.
*I claimed to have read some of the archived posts in admin. I never claimed to have read back 6 years worth.
What I find upsetting about this board is the unwillingness to accept "strangers." I post on here and try to be kind in most situations. Yes, sometimes I do fail, I never claimed to be perfect. But, how can you (not you as in anyone in particular, I'm not pointing fingers) expect this board to grow if you distrust new posters.
I realize there is a chance for blocked posters to come back under a new name and begin posting again. But, must the rest of us suffer because of the few?
I honestly feel that I have done my best to be supportive to posters on this board. And many posters on this board have welcomed me with open arms. But, there seems to also be an unwillingness to accept new posters by others. And this is discouraging and hurtfull. And I'm sure it isn't just to me.
I came to this board for support, just as I assume everyone else did. And I try my best to give support back, with humor, wit and personal stories. But it's really getting hard when I feel I'm not welcome by a majority of posters.
Sorry, you just hit a nerve. Maybe everyone should remember they were new once too!
