Oh, I reread what I said and see what you were responding to:
> It is a good source of medication information, but I don't find it that supportive at all, despite there are supportive members here.
From a holistic view, I don't feel the forum (what I meant by 'it') is DESIGNED or MANAGED with support as the primary focus (it seems more designed/managed mostly for other purposes)...as I had said that although there are supportive members, there are many unanswered posts of people in need....
Does that clarify things better?
In regards to my 'jokes'..if that is part of it..It's a very common societal concept for people to write about things for which we have no control over. Although exaggerated examples: Political cartoons--while they might upset the politician or his supporters--can bring concepts in a different light. Stephen Colbert, James Stewart...bring attention to things in a different way-that are helpful in getting a message across to some who might not otherwise pay attention...actually, more than one might think as many people I have known are not interested in watching the 'news'...
And it is healthy, as some people unhappy with government do things such as blow up a federal building or send nerve agents through the mail...while someone with a healthy attitude in dealing with a situation, James Stewart being the example to convey my point-makes people laugh wile bringing awareness to issues otherwise ignored by some. People benefit, even if a small way.
Anway it would be distasteful and unhealthy (for me) to go to a new party 'bashing' the old party...instead, I'd rather enjoy the new party, even if my experience at the old party is still on my mind...
And I'd guess James Stewart and Stephen Colbert probably have a lot of 'enemies' for being vocal about their views....
Either way, I am not viewing my posts in the negative light you pointed out. I think, instead, it's positive, or at least that is how I feel and think about it as a whole.
Take care, Dinah.
