Good God, What Happened to this Group?

Look,
I have no creds to criticize anyone. I'm no one's idea of the ideal
moderator or leader.
But I have a question. What happened to the "support" part of this
group? It seems to me there is a lot of type spent on attacking one another,
a bit of type dedicated to spreading helpful news to pain sufferers. Yet
most of the posts are attacks on other sufferers. When did it become vogue
to attack one another regarding their pain, whether it be physical or
emotional, in responding to this group? I'm all for more personal posts, but
I can't abide blind items of attack from one member or another, simply
because we may disagree. That renders this group impotent. All I'm seeing
these days is constant sniping and bitching, blaming others for our own
short comings. What kind of improvement can we expect from this type of
conversation? If we continue to tear away at one another, we won't have an
ASC-P. I'm beginning to think that is not such a bad idea. How sad.
