I believe what Nanahas3 is saying is that while she may not always be able to offer problem-specific help, she can offer support and good thoughts/prayers....and feels that's equally as important. And so do I! I think support, respect, good thoughts can be as powerful and as important as problem-focused advice. I don't think one takes the place of or ranks higher in importance, as we've seen here firsthand countless times. |
I don't disagree with this and I did not say it wasn't important. I said I didn't see my posting style that way. Another person on this thread (megansmomma) said they felt prayers/good thoughts were sometimes not needed and real experience is. I think she is right about that, and don't see why others want to superimpose their posting style onto others. For every person who thinks a poster is "harsh" there are 10 others who might be appreciative of the direct no-nonsense information sharing. Some of our members are very busy with many commitments and cannot ponder their words and walk on eggshells when they just need to get it posted for what it's worth. I am not all being defensive when I say I am a problem solver-- just stating a fact.
