I wasn’t angry; just surprised (about different opinions about “GERDling”). I’m glad Aidan is better.

I am sure that someone has called your older son asthmatic but the problem is when you yourself become offended by it. I think if you bring up a topic that you must prepare yourself to hear good and bad responses. It doesn’t make the person hateful because they disagree with you. We all have opinions and I think that you placed yourself in a postion of not liking what you would hear from others. If you can’t take it then you shouldn’t leave yourself open to others to comment on. I am not putting you down but I just want you to understand that even I have made comments and had to hear things I didn’t want to hear. I have no hard feelings towards those people and I understand that everyone is intitled to there own opinion.

I have said about a million times that I will “no longer be posting” after getting mad about what someone posts BUT I’m still here! I guess I’m addicted and enjoy helping people out.

P.S. I’m not a fan of the term “gerdling” either…to each their own of course.

I will bet if you ask Laura about this that you find it wasn’t a backhanded comment. I might be wrong but I would first like to hear what Laura has to say because I have never known her to offend anyone on purpose. Give Laura a chance to comment and see what she has to say before leaving. Again I am sorry you got your feelings hurt but I wasn’t one of the posters to the “gerdlings” post because I knew it was going to be one of those where feelings would get hurt. The reason I posted to this post is because I myself have posted something and knew that others would have a difference of opinion and I got my feelings hurt. After giving it much thought I realized that I opened the doors for comments that might be a little offensive. Then it didn’t bother me anymore. When your son’s grow up and they are teen age boys will you call them teenagers? Titles are every where and they are so hard to avoid.

good grief. I tried to stay out of this thread.

jill, i humbly appologize for any & everything you think about me and my opinions and statements, etc. Truly.

kathleen, I like what you’ve posted here.

I remain here to help people. Oftentimes (most of the time), the help I give is via providing links to information, as I don’t always have something new to add and I feel that I’ve already ‘said’ it, thus posting links to what I’ve said, or to what I think the response to a post should be.

I am hereby putting this to rest.

Jill, you can choose what you like- stay or not. I’m certain that you have a lot to contibute to help and support others, but if you feel like leaving, that’s your choice.

I will not post any further about this matter.

OK . .. so, I’ve been posting on this board for what seems like forever and yes, their have often been times that people “say” things that seem to be backhanded, pushy, opinionated, what have you. But I have to say, most of the time its only a matter of remembering that we are all READING posts and its not the same as conversation. ..its hard to interpret exact meanings of things when you can’t get facial cues and the ins and outs of normal face to face convos. I know I shouldn’t even be justifying this by adding more fuel to the fire but this kind of back and forth is the very reason why many internet sites fail and I would hate to see people turned off because personalities got in the way of information sharing.

Jill and Laura – I don’t think either of you should be apologizing to anyone. You are who you are and we are all here to get help from one another. On the flip side, I think its important to remember that the main purpose for posting is to get info and support, not to invite commentary or discuss whether we agree or disagree with personal preferences. Of course no one should feel free to outwardly offend others but most things in life are subjective so what are you going to do? This site is a tool not a forum to change the world and if that offends – oh well. No apologies here, I’ve learned a lot and hopefully helped others and if anyone ever feels like there opinions or problems related to infant reflux and all of its related problems don’t matter than thats a shame because that is the whole purpose of being here.
