especially when you are in excrutiating pain. That is why this board is so valuable. From time to time people get offended and leave. That is their right. We should all realize that, in a world-wide forum, there will be some, perhaps many, who have different ideas about things, and accept that. I venture to say that there is not one person who has posted here for very long who has not been disagreed with, or offended in some small way. If we all left when we were offended, we would have been gone long ago.In addition, there are personalities across the spectrum here. The bottom line is that we reserve the right to disagree, but still be there when our friends need help. Don't run at the first sign of disagreement or offense. There is much you stand to lose.
