Well Steph, thanks for trying to help me in that respect. And I do realize what you are saying.

I also realize that you came to this forum at a point in which I had already gotten sick of the the band not working and sick of the attacks on me for stating that.................so yes...............I will agree..............my posts are NOT always full of sunshine and rainbows. And when someone is rude to me...............I am just as rude, if not more so, right back at them. Is it right? No. But I see no reason to take the abuse and not return the favor.

If you go back and read on my posts you will find my ealier ones were much "nicer" and "user friendly". But after all the crap I have received on here...............well obviously that has changed my "approach".

Think about my 1 yr. update post. A few ppl on here were very supportive. Others trashed me b/c of what I wrote. What I wrote was MY expericence.................and I have just as much right to post it as anyone else. Some on here don't see things that way though.

Again..................though we don't usually agree on most things band related. I do appriciate that you want to help.

Thank you...it is hard sometimes to get over being hurt in the past. Most of us who came to the forum later (I joined in 2008, but really wasn't active until early 2010) are unaware of what happened to you. I do think that it is better to just walk away sometimes and offer a positive response when those who hurt you deserve it. I have learned that when someone is a horse's behind, sometimes you just kill 'em with kindness...makes them look really bad and you feel better too.
I do hope you are able to either make peace with your band or revise soon. I think you will be much happier either way!

Hang in there!

Steph
