I have read many posts and I have come to notice a major trend developing here seems that lots of people  have self steam issue as they like to put other down to make them self feel better , it only show me that person in need of help.
A good opinion should be about quality and not necessarily quantity. I've seen many long post that were junk, while some short, concise and effective  It's all about how the message is conveyed.
Stacy sweetie you really show sign of leader not follower
as for leaders sign what you have showing  must be proactive person who can solve problems more effectively wich everyone can see that you are trying , think creatively and remove the barriers  in that community  Successful leaders influence there  community by seeing what needs to be done as far Boston community  really need to stop and think before  writing ,posting ,name   calling others (little like childer behavier )  anything and respect others, Stacy  you have  inspiring others  which is other sign for leader and helping their whole community.   leadership is focusing on communication, risk taking even that some dont like to hear the truth but you still take the risck , problem solving, and motivating. which you show all sign of that  so let them all be follower and you continue  to be leader  and keep on having that positive attitude    because we all know negative attitude don't do  anyone any good  
(sorry about my English hope you guys under stand my point)

Linda...I guess as you have noted sometimes I do take risks when I post as to what effect it will have on people. I really do not enjoy critisizing peoples postings. The only time I do seems like when people lack the good sense to respect others.      
    Some people feel like that can say whatever they want about someone because that is just them, and they are known to shoot from the hip. Your words Linda were inspiring. It is good to see people are also wanting to rally in support of a better community. This is not about only 1 thing people. This is about mutual respect and safety of us all. If we do not have that we will not have the one thing everyone likes.
    I used to think that shooting from the hip "so to speak" was acceptable behavior because I thought the person had a right to say how they really feel even if I did not like it. They do have that right, but should excersize it with tact. You can say what you feel in a classy and assertive manner rather than attack people, or by hurting them with your poor choice in words.
    Linda is right we are a community...maybe a fantasy community, but nonetheless we should and could make this the best darn community on the boards. How can we do that? By excersizing restraint sometimes, by showing compassion, by adding our personal touches to this board, by seeking out information ourselves "if we can" rather than ISO'ing, and most of all this is for you men, This community thrives and survives on your reviews good or bad as long as it is written in good taste.
    I would really love to make this board hop! I provide as a means of financial support, but I also really like being a part of something..this boards helps us all in some small way in our need for affiliation whether we realize it or not. It is a fun outlet to be a part of that compliments our real lives. Who wants to belong to a war zone...hell we have enough of that going on in our real world. Can we not mold this community into what we wish our "real" communities would be like?
     I think for this board to flourish as Linda has said we will all have to work together. I know we can do it and I look forward to the day when you get on the boards and there is never a dull moment! I look forward to painting permanent smiles on all your faces. Cheers Linda...you started the ball rolling..you were brave enough to say how you feel. I greatly admire you for that! You are a delight to see post as well.

Over and over again the four of you have helped me, supported me, shown me kindnesses.  

There are other providers in New England who are equally as committed to improving our community by sharing their advice and wisdom with me and other (Majik Chrissy, Tracey of Maine, Carli of New Hampshire and Everly of Connecticut have always been fabulous in their willingness to assist me when they have the opportunity!), and those whose acquaintance I have not yet had the pleaure of making, but whose posts enlighten me (Rose, Lilly, Jill, Ann, to name a few).  Believe me, your willingness to be "team players" is priceless!  

Stacey, all we can do about the women and men who don't play by the same rules we do is wish them well, move on, and remember that for every one who disappoints us, there are numerous others whom we can count on again and again.  To those of you who fall into the latter catagory, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I, too, feel the same way as you :) I am hoping that, with everything "calming down", we have learned some lessons in getting along with other people, without the name calling. Time will tell ;)


Much love to all my beautiful sister's of every stature in the room.

Melinda :)
