Really?!

[Inspired by Reggio]

Umm ladies ~ not sure the details of the other forum or what went down over there to as she did not mention anything in her posts HERE to indicate what 'other forums' she was referring to or mentioning owners or anything my take was she was speaking very generally so only those of you who know her on both forums know what she is talking about the rest of us are in the dark so to speak so no 'privacy' has been breached?

However either way the experiences has obviously had a profound effect on her desire to network online at least at the moment because if you will look at the OP profile here she is no longer a member as her profile now reads 'guest' so her account has been deactivated .... so she is likely not reading this anyway and even if she is reading as a 'offline' option she cannot respond to your posts.

IME this is the cycle of public forums ... people come as long as the forum is meeting a need in them and when it no longer is meeting that need they get go and move on to find somewhere else that can meet that need again.

As for the 'negativity' thing the fact is that what is normal reality to one person can be extremely negative to another cause we are all on a different part in life's journey there is no 'right or wrong' there because it is based on life experience and perception .... she has the right to her perception based on her stage in her journey being optimistic and seeing the best in everything just as those expressing their opinions that were perceived as negative by her have a right to feel that what they were expressing was not negative at all but rather just the reality of how they see things based on their experience and why they protect themselves they way they do as a result!

Been in the field over 20 years and still do not perceive it the same way that others do who've been in it just as long and seen all the same things I have and so sometimes one has to just agree to disagree because we are looking at the same thing through very different lenses so to speak and until we can see through the eyes of others we are just never going to understand that perception
