Actually, yes. I make my living as a freelance writer. Not that the unedited quality of what I write here is any indication, I'm embarrassed to say.

But, thank you.

Nope. Someone mentioned my blog earlier in the thread, but she meant my OH profile and there's not much of my writing there. It is mostly copied scientific studies.

"As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit."

Sorry.

I've kind of moved beyond taking advice from a graduation card.

"But what is support, really?
 
Well, first of all, it is interaction with other humans that actually *feels* supportive. Support doesn't mean attending a support group that doesn't feel safe, or that doesn't have a culture of warmth and kindness. It doesn't mean going to your sibling who loves you, but who always delivers a hurtful comment along with the hug.
 
Second, support requires the person or group giving support to be on a firm foundation. Otherwise, your support falls apart. Have you heard the saying, "Hurt people hurt people"? If your go-to people for support are hurtful to you, they are not on firm footing themselves -- better to go elsewhere for support.
 
Third, support fosters your growth. If you are getting enough of the right support, you will experience a major transformation in yourself. You will discover a sense of empowerment and peace you have never before experienced. You will come to believe you can overcome your challenges and find some joy in this world."
This is a quote from Katie Jay, whom I admire so much re: her work with post WLS patients.

Sorry again.

But Katie Jay does not get to define "support" for anyone but herself. And she's wrong, anyway. Support is sometimes a hug and sometimes a swift smack across the back of your head. That's what you'll get here. Both.

If you have a good mother or good friends, even they will provide the same kind of HONEST support.

Refusing to ignore, accept, or encourage bad behavior is NOT hurtful. It is true support and its intention is kind.

And I'm refusing to ignore or accept your bad behavior. You are good at getting negative attention. I hope when you need true support, especially when it's a whack upside the head, you receive it's kind attention gracefully.

I have not engaged in ANY bad behavior here.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with wanting people to stop spamming you with their blogs.

THAT behavior is rude, negative, and socially unacceptable.

I have received PLENTY of very positive, supportive posts on this thread. The majority of the complainers are blog spammers. This is their needed whack.

You could use a good whack right now yourself  because you are WAY out of line with this crap. You are obsessing about it all over the board. This is at least the third thread you've repeated yourself in. Go get some psychiatric help.
