Just what did I embrace or fight?

Apparently, it's a knee-jerk Christian reaction.
> I really don't feel the need\obligation to either embrace or > fight every thing that passes before me. You're not very Christian I take it.

I'm sorry about your pain and I can assure you that it had nothing to do with this post.

You just demonstrated how immature and insensitive you are. This group just settled down and was behaving peacefully and this is an unprovoked attack, What, do you derive some sort of sense of power and control over provoking people? Maybe just a typical attempt to compensate for a "short-coming"?

Read CJ's response. He's dead-on.

Oh, please put it into context.

> You just demonstrated how > immature and insensitive you are. Really? How is posting a joke insensitive?
> This group just settled down and > was behaving peacefully and this is an unprovoked attack, Whom did I attack? It was a joke, son.
> What, do you > derive some sort of sense of power and control over provoking people? > Maybe just a typical attempt to compensate for a "short-coming"? No, I have little patience for religions that control their members with fear and superstition, something you apparently have less of problem with than a funny joke.

Had they done >it 75 years ago, there would be all these Christians wearing electric [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Alias I have been monitoring this newsgroup since I began TX in September. I had to be desensitized to the Rebetrol before adding the interferon. This is my first time responding mostly because I'm not sure if I am doing it correctly.
Anyhow, first let me say that my third shot almost didn't happen, but reading some of your comments gave me the strength to do just one more. Now I have finished week 17 of 48 weeks! This is my third time on treatment due to such an allergic reaction to the Rebetrol. I have never made it this far, but as you know, it hasn't been easy. Results are good except for the low platlet counts which I am dealing with using Procrit, I have Stage 3 fibrosis, so I am determined to see this through. I thank you all for allowing me to learn from you.
The other thing I want to address is the way you "old timers" treated each other during the Christmas bashing of each other. I could not believe how you talked to people who had been here for you, whether you agree with their ways of thinking or not. I was so glad when it ended so you could get back to helping each other. And believe me I know how easy it is to say things because of how the TX makes you feel. There have been hateful things come out of my mouth that made me think an alien had taken over my speech!
Now, in response to Cody's joke. Due to brain fog, I didn't get it at first. When I did, I thought it was humorous and, if you think about it, it's true. You don't have to be labeled a Christian to be a good person, nor does not confessing to be a 'Christian' make you a bad person, If we treat everyone else like we want to be treated life would be so much simplier. Call me simple minded, but I believe it is just that simple.

[quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > would be so much simplier. Call me simple minded, but I believe it is > just that simple. Very well put trashestreet. I completely identify with how you thought about no more shots around the third one. There were so many times thru the treatment I wanted to quit, but somehow managed to keep going. In part my ability to keep going was from this NG as I knew I wasn't the only person going thru treatment and wasn't as I isolated as I felt at the time.
Now its nearly time for round two, first time didn't work, and I know I can do it.
Speaking of the "old timer's" on the list, I had an unfortunate experience the other day on one of the Delphi Forum Chat Rooms. This was a day or so after I had found out the treatment hadn't worked, so I was feeling low and sorry for myself. Upon signing in to one of the Hep C chat room, I noticed that one of the regulars on here was in the chat room. I thought this was cool. Didn't turn out that way though. As soon as I was in the chat room, this individual started belittling me for the way I had put previous postings in this NG (something about using my real email address instead of a fake one and that I would be attacked by spammers as I was to dumb to know this). I thought what a jerk. Here I was thinking how neat it would be to talk to someone I at least had some knowledge of, but I left the room feeling like an idiot in front of the six or so others in the room - not what I needed at the time. I've come to the conclusion that yes, there are some on here who want to be supportive and then there are others who for whatever reason choose to be obnoxious.
I will continue to be here, but I have adjusted my expectations on what to expect.
Take care and hang in there.

I found out the hard way about spam. Why would I want to belittle you? I thought I was being helpful. So much for info and support. Some people don't know that about using the addresses, etc. Does that mean they're dumb? I don't know dick about plumbing but today I do it anyway trying to keep the household happy.
