I just disagree when the posting attacks someone at a personal level... Actually, I have just lost my cool on this board for the first timel, and this wzas because someone was insinuating something about "me", not about my illness, the medication, but something about me that she had no way of knwoing anything about... Thats what I object to!
Disagreement of a point is fine... If you say a is balck, and I see it as grey, I can argue that point with facts, or simply to say why I think it is grey, that is not upsetting or nasty, but if I were to say, of course its grey you stupid woman, that WOULD be personal...
Yup, useless at explaining what I mean - hope that maked sense!!

I find these particularly arrogant-toned, and dismissive of the hundreds of people expressing pain on these boards.
