Personal Attacks?

[aya*abouelnasr 0]

Based on what I read here in your reply, you don't have to worry about English as a second language, you do better than some who's English is primary! LOL

I just want to say that it was nice to see and hear that so many people do get and agree with my point. I truly am not pointing a finger at anyone, to do so would be to say that I am without fault and that is SO not true It just saddens me to see anyone treated unfairly, for no apparent reason, other than something they brought out into the open here. I am not saying that you have to AGREE with their choices, just to use some common courtesy when you post your opinions. I know kindness and compassion have to still exist in this world today. I know we all have to have somewhat "open" minds, what else could have brought us all here? If I stepped on any toes, that was not my intentions, and I am not naive enough to think I can change everyones way of thinking. If I have touched but one person, to perhaps make them think to soften their words, my goal is accomplished, and I am happy.

I understand your point as well, but practically speaking none of this is going to solve anything, really. On the off chance that this *will* change a single poster's behavior, it's not going to make much difference when you look at the big picture. Like I said before, if you have issues with certain topics, exchanges, or posters, you really do need to take it up with Captain Ewok. Trying to regulate behavior in this way is just not going to work, even though I know you have good intentions.

ok.. well my take on all this is that when you start putting personal Info into a internet group.. you open up Pandora's Box.. I think in moments of weakness... bordom.. reaching out.. whatever I will vent some personal things on here.. AND i know it can be easy to talk / vent to "strangers".. Or if you are the type secluded to your house.. BUT there is always that vulture.. or Wolf Pack teehee..

you have to be prepared for that IF you chose to post those things..

for instance.. I typically dont like to talk about my kids.. Post pictures of them.. etc. Cause I KNOW.. If someone was to use that against me.. I would be very upset.. SO knowing that.. I try my best NOT to post TMI ! (Although.. I did Mention something about my sons haircut a few minutes ago.. Any one says ANYTHING... you DIE!!!!!!! ) HAHAa

Just to clean up any confusion, I was NOT pointing a finger at any ONE person. I am not vicious in that way. My point was only that sometimes things get taken out of context and it's just not fair for any of us to attack another person when we don't walk in their shoes.

Comments and suggestions can be made without it sounding like a personal attack on someone else's situation.

We are here to gather information to make it easier for us to go thru this process of immigration. To learn how to make the transition easier for our husband or wife. To gain information and to maybe pass on a laugh or two along the way. NOT to rip out someone's throat because their actions don't mirror our own.

We are all individuals, and as such, we all make our own choices, and mine don't have to be the same as yours, and vise versa.

Hi Tammy,

Thanks for saying all that you've said. You've voiced what many of us feel and agree with. Wish you and your love the best in this visa journey. I'm so relieved and encouraged that there are others who have the same thing in common... trying to get that visa a.s.a.p. Most of our immediate family and close friends are very supportive, but have no idea whats entailed in this journey and don't have too many answers or advice to give regarding visa stuff. Soooo... you kinda feel like you're alone in this. Im really glad I found this site. There are others going through similar highs and lows with questions that I couldn't even think of asking but answers that are so beneficial. I pray God help us all. InshAllah we be reunited with our loved ones sooner than expected.

I agree. That's what Ewok is here. Most people in MENA report anything and everything so you don't have to worry.
