No matter what the reason someone has for posting under more than one name... I don't think it is any of my business. My primary reason here, although I haven't been able to do much of it lately, is to help and get help regarding IBS issues. If someone needs IBS help, who cares if they are posting under 5 different names?
If it is a Living Room thing, then I can't see why it would bother me either.

For the record, I am only one person here and there are people on the boards who have met me and can vouch for me. I personally wouldn't choose to post as someone else, but I am surely not about to judge someone who does.

I don't know why everyone on the boards can't just leave well enough alone sometimes. We have to pounce on everything that comes along, and then have a big drama about people leaving and coming back, or deciding not to come back afterall.
I have been offline for a little while because of things happening in my real life and truth be told, I feel like sometimes asking for support here may end up blowing up in my face. This being said, while I was first again PMing because of what people were saying about cliques and things but if it could take a chunk out of the drama and cast more attention on helping people with their actual IBS-RELATED problems, maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I've always said the wonderful thing about communicating online is the delete key. I can write something, read it back, realise it's not appropriate and delete it. I do this in eMails, conversations with friends, and on these boards as well. I think it is so unecessary for things to get out of hand the way they do here.

Personally, no topic brought up here would bother me. I am happy to talk to anyone about anything, but I understand some people aren't. I think if we can all just learn to try and respect each other and not be so quick to judge and jump all over someone, we would be much more peaceful community.

Failing that, the Living Room is a nice place to come, but once again it is not the reason the boards were created. I can't help but sigh when people make posts about leaving because it means they are leaving the Living Room, but why leave the Diet board? Just because someone makes a post over here that you don't agree with and get into an argument about, doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people looking for answers and support on the other boards. I hope that people can keep this in mind in the future. I think the Holidays are especially a good time to look at what we are doing for other people, and see how much more we could be doing and it is such a small thing.

I personally have respect for every single person on this board, and I think it is a real shame the way these things keep cropping up. Hopefully, we can all learn some tolerance for one another and get back to what a support group is really about.

Your friend,
Steph
