Sharing our stories with others makes us vulnerable. I know that I interact with you and others because this community provides 'support', and that is my expectation. A fundamental virtue we can exercise with each other when we express or listen is to be compassionate. When a participant suggests that you or I stop whining, crying, feeling sorry for ourselves, etc., I suppose that member of this community has their unfortunate issue. There are ways they could express that thought without being offensive. You, i, and anyone else who engages is expected to listen and respect what they are reading/hearing. Perhaps the individual cannot relate/identify, a frustration of theirs no doubt. Take care of yourself and if you feel a need to exclude someone from your conversation, then that is your prerogative, exercise it, express you thoughts and feelings thoughtfully and with compassion for others. As a member of your community, I ask that you expect the same from your community members as we are about support.

Just consider Who the person is and don’t let it bother You 😉

That’s so hard to hear. We’re here for help , support and even a place to vent; but not to be put down by anyone! Most of us have already had more than our share of bullying and abuse and we don’t need it here. And if he’s been following Quinn’s experience lately- which has been definitely hard and painful; I don’t understand how anyone could go off on him like this. I too only recently found this site and it’s because my neurologist set it up for me. I believe in second chances- they might be having a bad day or two, so I’m of the school of live and let live- just don’t push ur values on me. And just by taking the anger out of his words, I can tell he’s hurting; but it’s not an excuse to saying things that he has been. But I’m willing to give him another chance- as long as the anger is taken out of his venting

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, yes, they are the same person. When he put the first one up, I noticed the picture was the same and it said he was from the same city and state as the other profile. He told me he couldn't access the first profile, so he had to make another one. Now that seems like a big red flag he did something he wasn't supposed to do and the side disabled that profile for a certain amount of time. Kinda like getting put in FB jail on Facebook!

EdwardWilkersonJr., I’ll definitely be on the look out for something similar that i feel might be him again. I don’t care who it is if someone is going to be that inconsiderate with my post and not knowing what I completely go through on a daily basis they deserve to be blocked and deleted. Period the end.
