the pain of reading alt.support.chronic-pain

Shame on you people. You all act as if you are playing children's games.
This newsgroup was set up for the support for those in pain. It was meant
to help those with question about pain. It was meant to be a place where
like minded individuals can share their experiences and give others the
extra shoulder needed to bare the weight of a chronic condition that leaves
us feeling like we are in a constant downward spiral. I have lurked in this
group for years and have found many posts to be helpful. Post have helped
me find answers to the questions about pain and ways to treat it. The posts
have also shown me that I am not alone in the world with my pain. Every now
and then, war breaks out in this support group. The two sides play their
dirty tactics in public for all of us to see. One side will make a remark
designed to enrage the other side and the rest of us must deal with weeks of
flame wars. We all came here for support. No one cares about the childish
spat. Even if one side starts to move in a direction in an attempt to move
beyond such childish games, the other side can not leave well enough alone
and makes every attempt to draw side 1 back into the flame war. There are a
few that have nothing intelligent to say except for negative comments that
only make them look unintelligent and hardly makes their case more valid.
Instead it makes them look childish with no real argument. Also present are
fellow members of this support group who see it fit to be there to fan the
fire with smug comments. These members do not take sides but are only there
to see that the war continues so that they might find some morsel of
pleasure in their pathetic lives. The rest of the group should ignore both
factions. By ignoring them, they might realize that the world doesn't
revolve around them and their comments. One reason these people are
involved in these petty games is because they have no other source where
they can be the center of attention. When they realize that they are no
longer the center of attention, they might decide to final put to rest this
silly charade. Of course, both sides will try to use this post to justify
their means, but that again will only be part of their plan to be the center
of attention and to trap this group in their game. Both sides have gone to
the extent of using illegal activities to hurt the others. Why is it
necessary to cause more pain and stress to those who already have to suffer?
Both sides have used tactics to recruit others into their world of low
self-esteem. When will these factions realize that the rest of the group
neither cares nor wants anything to do with this squabble? My advice to the
sufferers of these constant attacks from these two factions is to set up a
kill file so that the group will be rid of these children of chaos and
support can once again be found in a group where it is needed the most.
Thank you,CG
