There are plenty of thread where people give kudos to others, and the moderators work very hard to keep out the ones that are ultra negative. And it was good for froggyintexas to vent also. This is a wonderful site and I am very thankful to all that participate.

No offense, but I think that you perhaps don't read enough of the threads posted on this board....Every single day I read posts that thank other board members for their help and graciousness, posts that sing the praises of the the Lord or another higher power, posts that congratulate other board members for their accomplishments, for their children's and grandchildren's accomplishments, posts that offer loving help, donations and prayers to those in need, posts that celebrate the lives that we are living - both the good and the bad, the pleasant and the unpleasant. There are awesome, loving and giving people who participate in this board. Of course sometimes some of us bitch about one thing or another - but those posts as far as I'm concerned are far, far outweighed by the vast number of supportive, welcoming and loving messages conveyed by so many here. For that, I thank you all.

Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/LOVE. :lol:

One thing I always keep in mind is that communication face to face is much easier to interpret because you can see facial expressions and hear intonations in the voice that helps you understand the meaning behind the words. On paper or here on the Board, we interpret meaning strickly from the words written. I do believe that often meanings are misunderstood or responses are written in a hurry without realizing how the message may be interpreted. I also like the fact that this is a place of friends...we can share, cry, laugh, and vent to help us navigate through life! I love it! There is so much support here that I refer to this Board as 'my quilting friends.'

Personally I do not mind if someone needs to vent, I'd rather it be here than to children, or spouse. We all get irritated at times, and some do not have anyone to vent to. I know that one of the LQS's has a lady who just grits on my nerves, so I try to go there when she is not working. Others like her a lot, but she just rubs me wrong, so I avoid contact.
My take is, if I read the first post and nothing grabs me, I just go on. I may just respond to the first post instead of reading what everyone has to say. Mostly due to not having the time to read all the posts.
Lots of times I just thank God I am not walking in that persons shoes.
So put on a smile, put on some good music and sew.
