Re: Anyone else turned off from this board by the recent ranting and raving?

I see what you mean, and I think you're not talking about writing out of frustration or in the midst of the near-mental breakdown so many of us have felt. There is a difference between sharing and helping each other, or even throwing a fit, and the type of ranting that has been going on. It isn't useful. I have seen a shift here, which is unfortunate. Sadly, it takes a while to find the posts like the ones that helped me so much. I have considered senidng a private message to those who are obviously struggling so severely that their rants have moved beyond helping themselves and others, encouraging them to seek professional help. I still may do it, if i can work up the nerve.
