I don't think you started any arguments. The other day you did the right thing by saying that the posts were causing you stress and you didn't want to talk about the topic anymore. The best thing to do to avoid the arguing is to not reply to a post that you think may cause you more stress.
I hope you are feeling better.

Thanks for the compliment, and right back at you!!
I chose to leave for a while too when I was really stable but I wander back in stints now and again when I falter or when I just need to "see" some friendly faces.
Whatever you decide, I'm still here!! Or, I'm here some of the time anyways!

I'm not around much, Double J, but when I do check in I'm always happy to see something from you. So for purely selfish reasons I'd hate to see you go.
Having said that, though, I think moving on is natural. Part of the reason we all want to get over IBS is to do other things with our lives and it's certainly nice not to have to worry about our IBS constantly. The Living Room can be - has been - a source of support for non-IBS issues but if it becomes more stressful than helpful it's kind of counter-productive.
If you do leave, Double J, I hope you'll touch base from time to time. My email is in my profile.
And that goes for any of the other old-timers, too. I'd enjoy hearing from you occasionally, not to discuss IBS but just to say, "Hi. How are you doing? I'm fine." You were with me during a horrible time in my life and your help was invaluable.
Take care everyone.

Aww... thanks, Double J. It means a lot to me to know that I have helped make a little bit of a difference. I always enjoy your posts, and would hate to see you leave permanently! But I do understand the need to "step away" from time to time. Do what feels right, but please drop by and visit once in awhile!

Hi Lisa, yes I really enjoyed it too. It opens on Friday, I believe. I am thinking about a matinee. I hope the movie does the book justice.

Thanks for the shout out, Double J! I am trapped in Oak Ridge in Tennessee at mo, by myself in a semi-dark, locked business center in a small hotel, having bad IBS and generally feeling sorry for myself. Then drama on the boards!!  What did I miss?? I want in! (Bad Nelly.) 
It's good to have a community of diverse people with ONE thing that unites us, a debilitating, embarrassing, painful, shameful, lonely condition that separates us from "normals" and binds us together like a tribe of struggling, hopeful, scared sufferers against the world of doctors who "don't get it," co-workers and friends with eyes full of pity, and unbelieving family members... 
I get all you guys, the ones at the beginning, the ones at the end of their journey, and all of us in between. It seems I've been everyone!! 
Without each other, we're suffering ignorants, turned inward, full of desperation, pain and quivering hopeless rage. Well, OK, maybe just hurt people with questions.
I too hate the [insert group here]. Those bastards! But I have great affection for you. I don't read some people's posts. I'm headstrong and easily rattled into a fight. Bad Nelly.
Thanks for airing this. You're one smart IBS-er and I'd hate to some day stop reading your posts because you're not there.

I miss your posts. You always bring such a great sense of humor to the Living Room.
I hope things are getting better for you IBS wise and that you get out of the hotel!
