If you don't like how someone conducts themselves on a forum, take a breather and walk away. It can be so easy to let emotions sweep you away that you forget there is another person on the other end.
You are important. Don't feel bad that your post wasn't quoted or responded to, I know you try very hard to reply to wherever possible and may feel as though you've gotten the short end of the stick. If I have ever made you feel as though I have been skipping your comments, I'm sorry, it hasn't been my intention.
About whether this is a support forum, that is a question for its own thread. It may be helpful to have suggestions and discussion between members about how we carry ourselves as a support forum and as a place of expression of self. For example, some members only post what they are doing and a couple of selfies, they rarely comment on anything else. Shpuld we pick on them that they aren't showing support to others, instead just being self-absorbed?
There is no obligation of any memebers here, no expectations to be a certain way other than be themselves and respectful.
Shan, when you are hungry, you aren't yourself.

It's difficult for me right now to have something to say, I'm sorry for that because I am reacting to peoples comments. It's the responding that lacks, I'm still trying to get over being locked up with a rotating bunch of people with various disorders. They don't come with TW, you pretty much have to guess. I just learned to shut down and ignore them, zero response to them. I spent most of over 3 months looking out the window at the end of the hallway, looking at the parking lot, watching people park. Or just walking the hallway. Not even comfortably numb, just numb. But I do react to everyone's comments, I just don't know what to say. I've written stuff out and deleted it far more than I have hit the send button. I have little confidence in my comments, what if they are rambling like this is? I put up a couple music vids, easy enough to do. I haven't complained about hormones that I can remember, but people do and it is a support site, so... My tit's don't hurt, but I kinda wish they did. LTD's situation is bad, but again, I don't know what to say, there is nothing I can do and I don't want to come off wrong. I could give the encouraging comment, but I write it and it sounds hollow. They're asking for real help, not advice. Jacey, that's a lot to digest, but I did. It's not TMI, it's the real story. I've thought about relating some of mine like that, but lack something I need to do that. I did write a story about a couple years of my life that includes some of the stuff I put up with growing up. I should do something with it, but right now, I just don't feel like it.
I don't know, music vids to hormones to tit's hurting... it is a support site. It's not all fun and games like pretending to be on a deserted island. Don't get me wrong, I think all of it is important, it works that way. To try and change that ideal, moderators would have to be put in place. I just can't see that happening. That we self moderate is that if there is something we don't like, we can ignore it, skim over it and forget it, let it go... It's not exactly the way I want it as a forum, either, but that's the beauty of it, it's diversity. We each mold it in our own ways, each and every one of us. I can't help but think to myself,'How fucking cool is that, really?'. There is always going to be things we would rather not read, so we don't read it, watch it if it's a video. So what? I cherish all of it, it's real stuff from real people, the facades are down here. There isn't the charade that some places force you into, it's the real deal here. Even complaints are a part of this forum. They help to mold it, just like any comment does, so there isn't any taking anything away from me in this comment. We self moderate, and it's a better forum for it. I read and think about comments, I skim over some that aren't important to me or that I don't care for. But I know they are all right here, unmoderated and real. So, how fucking cool is that, really? It's a pretty good forum, indeed it is. It really is.

I know how you feel about hollow comments. With LivingTheDream, I had written a comment of support at the time but put it off as it sounded forced. Plus I decided to leave it and come back the next day, saw Mingma's response and was blown away by her advice. It was 1000x better and more helpful than anything I would have come up with.
Sometimea we gotta take ourselves in moderation. Too much time together, even family get sick of each other! Taking a break from the forum is completely okay and nobody will hold anyone against it. After all, this place ain't going anywhere!

For an unmoderated forum, it does well because there is a sense of friends and family here. It has a tone that is set, even negative comments are taken that way. Really, there is no infighting, the forum doesn't work that way. We're lucky, it could have easily become a bitch-fest. Instead, people became an extension of the Forest. As NB people, regardless, it's the Forest mentality that makes it work. People come and go, but at the core, it remains as it was meant to be, the Forest.

Don't say anything, I'm just having a turd attack, so sorry! Guess I was thinking about givers and takers. There are several people here who are inherently givers. Jacey, Patty, Mingma, Jaime, just to name a few and they deserve a call out and credit for overcoming the tendency we all have to be so self absorbed with our own petty shit that we are unresponsive to other's who experience sudden and overwhelming loss or even have financial needs just to continue to exist. My comments aren't aimed at anyone in particular here, it's just a brain fart that overcame me awhile back. I know someone here who shelled out several hundred dollars to help a member who was between a rock and a hard spot, no one asked her to do that, she saw the need and responded because she was able. I've helped out a few folks in times of need too, I know one's good sense would say that's probably stupid, but to be honest I'm not responsible for what they do with it. When we see a member here going through a hellish situation and we can afford to, it never hurts to pm, get an address and Western Union them a little TLC just to let them know someone cares. I know for certain that suicides have been averted that way. It doesn't have to be money either, kind words and a thoughtful response is always meaningful.

You're all good folks, just chalk it up to Auntie Shan being an old pain-in-the-ass at times. You know what they say about A -holes, everyone has one and occasionally you get stuck with an A-hole that has an opinion, sorry bout that, I'll head out to Uranus now and leave the good folks here alone for awhile.

Ever wonder how Polka got it's name? Looked it up. Wikiwhatever...
Etymology
The name polka possibly comes from the Czech word půlka ("half"), referring to the short half-steps featured in the dance.[1] Czech cultural historian and ethnographer Čeněk Zíbrt, who wrote in detail about the origin of the dance, in his book, Jak se kdy v Čechách tancovalo[2] cites an opinion of František Doucha (1840, Květy, p. 400) that "polka" was supposed to mean "tanec na polo" (n.b. the absence of diacritics), i.e. "a dance in half", both referring to the half-tempo 2
4 and the half-jump step of the dance. Zíbrt also ironically dismisses the etymology suggested by A. Fähnrich (in Ein etymologisches Taschenbuch, Jiein, 1846) that polka comes from the Bohemian word pole (farmland).[2] On the other hand, Zdeněk Nejedlý suggests that the etymology given by Fr. Doucha is nothing but an effort to prove the "true Czech folk" origin of Polka. Instead, he claims that according to Jaroslav Langr ("České krakováčky" in: Čas. Čes. musea, 1835, Sebr. spisy I, 256) in the area of Hradec Králové, the tune Krakoviáky from the collection Slovanské národní písně of František Ladislav Čelakovský became very popular so that it was used to dance (Czech dances) třasák, břitva, kvapík, and this way was called "Polka". Nejedlý also writes that Václav Vladivoj Tomek also claims the Hradec Králové roots of a Polka. OED also suggests that the name may have been derived from the Czech polka meaning "Polish woman" (feminine form corresponding to polák, a Pole).
The word was widely introduced into the major European languages in the early 1840s. It should not be confused with the polska, a Swedish About this sound 3/4-beat (help·info) dance with Polish roots (cf. polka-mazurka). A related dance is the redowa. Polkas almost always have a About this sound 2/4 (help·info) time signature. Folk music of Polka style appeared in written music about 1800.
The beginning of the propagation of dance and accompanying music called polka is generally attributed to a young woman, Anna Slezáková (born Anna Chadimová), who danced to accompany a local folk song called "Strýček Nimra koupil šimla", or "Uncle Nimra Bought a White Horse", in 1834
By 1835, this dance had spread to the ballrooms of Prague. From there, it spread to Vienna by 1839, and in 1840 was introduced in Paris by Raab, a Prague dance instructor.
It was so well received by both dancers and dance masters in Paris that its popularity was referred to as "polkamania." The dance soon spread to London and was introduced to America in 1844.
There is No Honest Way to Explain This...
