I PERSONALLY DID NOT TAKE JOANNE'S FIRST MESSAGE AS BEING IGNORANT TO ONE THAT WAS USING ALL CAPS IN THEIR MESSAGES. WHEN I FIRST STARTING SEEING THE MESSAGES FROM CINDY IN ALL CAPS (A WHILE BACK) I THOUGHT SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT USING ALL CAPS ON THE COMPUTER MEANT YELLING! I DO NOT TAKE THAT AS IGNORANCE. THERE ARE SO MANY THAT DO NOT KNOW USING CAPS MEANS YELLING! MY HUSBAND FOR INSTANCE, AS MUCH AS I TELL HIM NOT TO TYPE IN CAPS HE INSISTS ON IT, BECAUSE HE CAN "SEE" BETTER! HE DOES NOT HAVE "VISUAL IMPAIRMENT" PER SE, BUT HE DOES WEAR GLASSES. ANYWAY, I ONLY WISH TO SAY THAT FOR MYSELF I DID NOT TAKE WHAT JOANNE HAD FIRST SAID AS BEING MEAN OR IGNORANT AND AS SHE STATED, THINGS DO GET WAY OUT OF CONTEXT ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD AT TIMES. I KNOW FOR MYSELF I STAYED AWAY FOR A LONG TIME JUST BECAUSE OF THAT! I AM HAPPY TO SEE THAT FOR BOTH JOANNE AND CINDY, NO ONE IS LEAVING THE BOARD. YOU ARE ALL WELCOME HERE, AND AS HELEN D. STATED WE DO NOT DISCRIMINATE REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING HERE. WE ARE ALL SUFFERERS OF ADHESION RELATED DISORDER IRREGARDLESS OF ANYTHING ELSE!!
I AM HAPPY TO BE A PART OF THIS MESSAGE BOARD AND THAT I CAN SHARE MY FEELINGS WITH EVERYONE DESPITE ALL OUR IMPERFECTIONS! I WISH YOU ALL WELL AND PAIN FREE DAYS TO ONE AND ALL!! GLAD TO SEE WE CAN ALL SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER.
LOVE AND GOD BLESS, KAREN CARTER
