DUers are many things.... kind, loving, informative.. but cruel?

I have never ever in 2 years posted a message like this. But I am totally flumoxed.

I did something from my heart today and shared it (guess that was all wrong) and I am getting attacked. WTF? That's not what this board is about and frankly it makes me really angry and sad.

Maybe some people need to check their goddamn hate. It's too much for me.

2. You rec'd 18 recommends and the majority of comments were

nice, complimentary. I wouldn't sweat it. There's ALWAYS one that will disagree; if it's night, they'll swear to the death it's day. Please just ignore the sourpusses! :hug:

4. Yeah it was only one and now his post has been removed...

I am not sure why it was removed. If he/she has something to say, he should just say it. Instead of playing games. I think what you did was commendable and so do you, so who cares what some jagoff thinks.

:toast:

5. It's been deleted, but if you feel

like sharing a name, I will be on the lookout... I am tired of these attack threads myself....

7. I dunno this is new to me.

I usually just chime in sometimes and read all day.. I've never been a target. I'm guessing I'm not the only DUer to feel like this.

Pay no attention to them. I really liked your story and had a similar experience.
