And members here have discussed every subject there is to hash over. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	I don't know why anybody stops posting. This is such a supportive site. And who doesn't need support in this ole world? You're right. It's their loss! _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

NYWoman Registered: 08/24/07 Posts: 87 Loc: California	For the most part, my experience here at BWS has been positive. On the other hand, I often feel uncomfortable posting a new topic or responding to an ongoing discussion. Why? I feel intimidated by some and also like I am an outsider. Several of you long-timers have developed close relationships and have met IRL. I believe it's difficult for someone new to feel welcomed into, what could be perceived as, the inner circle. I've also seen how heated some discussions can get here at BWS with harsh words being written. Perhaps that is why some women have moved on from BWS. These are just my thoughts, for what they're worth. _________________________ http://kalola52.blogspot.com

I sense I'm viewing info. about things that interest you, but not clear who you are. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

Eagle Heart Member Registered: 03/22/05 Posts: 4876 Loc: Canada	NY Woman, I've encountered the same thing (harshness, intimidation) here at times. It always sends me into hibernation for awhile, but fortunately, there is more kindness and love here than harsh words to keep me coming back. I also come more to give comfort and support back now than to seek it...which is not only a nice change, but evidence of the healing power of this place and these women, for it's the love I've experienced here which has healed me to be able to come and pay love forward to others. There will always be risk when sharing our hearts in such an open public forum, but for me, the risks have all been worth it. _________________________ When you don't like a thing, change it.
