Serenity,
I understand what you are saying. On all the discussions I rely on the differing prospectives to help me....even when it gets heated there's good information.
The good folks here watch out for one another....and I feel so much safer reading it here so that I can get their takes on it. It gives me the courage to try some things, watch for this or that to happen and the knowledge that this might not be a good idea so I really need to be careful here....or to know this is some crazy stuff here...don't try that.
I know we don't all agree on everything and we aren't able to establish "tone" so it's sometimes hard to know what to say and what to leave alone....for me anyway. So if I step on toes tell me and I'll correct it. If you step on mine I'll just post an "ouch" so you know....but really you gotta try to rise above it. But there are people that can't control themselves and chime in and make those comments.... and they are unwilling to hear another side or even have the other side disagree. ...And then there are the fanatics or the "right fighters" that just fight cause they gotta be right or they feel it's their right to say something.
The moderators here have to be saints here. I'd just tell them to shut up... Lol.. but I do sorta wish we got warnings before being baned...not baned but in trouble... Like... 1st warning, 2nd warning and then silenced for a week, then two weeks, then a month then 3 months.... I'm trying to make it incremental so us HW junkies don't go into withdrawal....lol... For some of us this is the only place we have to be be really heard and understood.
Plus it's sorta nice to be able to follow a trend and see how it turns out--without actually trying the trend. I'm thinking of some of the things people tried that may have helped a few but not the majority ..but if you were one of those few how wonderful for you... Sorta like methotrexate and lowering antibodies works for me. It might not work for everyone, but at least you can bring it up to your GI with your information to make sure it won't harm you...and if it works for you how wonderful.
Its complicated that's for sure.
