1. "Look before you leap". Think before you post. If you are having doubts, then there's your answer.
2. If you wouldn't say it to someone's face, then don't post it here. You never know who is on the other end of your post. You don't know what that person is capable of or how sane or unstable they may be. Post at your own risk. It's easy to find yourself being stalked, hacked, or worse.
3. To get respect you have to give it. I'm a firm believer in that you teach others the way you wanted to be treated. I think "The Golden Rule" seems to cover this but I just want to be clear. What better way to make a point, than by repetitiveness. If it works for kids...
4. I have set up this blog in an effort to LEARN, & offer my experience, not to pass judgment. Don't bother stepping up to post, if you are here to be a pot-stirring, trouble maker. I don't believe in definitive statements that include such words as: all, every, most, etc. You know, all the"trick" words used on the SATs & ACTs?! When I see statements like those I usually eliminate them mentally. Sorry, but that's just something in my psyche I can't undo. I've tried but to no avail. For me it's similar to when you associate a certain smell to a specific memory. I think that is called imprinting if I remember my jr year of psychology correctly. (Lori, I know you will let me know!)
Ok so now that we have that out of the way here's my first question:
Why all the hostility between the branches of the adoption "triad"? Why are YOU angry? How has the anger helped/hurt you?
If you are not angry, please, don't reply. I want to try & understand what it is that is causing so many of us in the triad to go at each other like wild animals...I look forward to hearing your input...
