Quite simply John when you find something that works for you, you want to tell everybody about it.
I am as guilty of that as anybody here. Some are more eloquent than others or more well informed and so they post with their views. Sometimes incessantly. Certain sections are also reticent to post because of past experiences. Some are very shy about posting and have to be cajoled into giving an opinion. Some opinions are twisted and portray something that was never intended or even said ?
We hope here that that is all behind us now. Is it a forlorn hope, I don't think so.
This forum grows and grows, discussions like this are interesting, educational, controversial. Not bland and full of recipes and crude jokes, sexism and intolerance of other views. We like to think we are above that. We have our jokes here quite often too, but we never let it get in the way of serious postings. A bit of light relief sometimes, never to the point that the OP is never answered properly.
There will always be differing views on what is the best way. It may well be an alien concept to some. What everybody should remember is this rule on this forum. Set by the administrator, the owners.
Do not be rude or offensive
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but please try and go by the rule of only speaking to people here as you would on a face to face basis. Do not try and shock, upset or offend. Debate and discussion are fine, as are controversial opinions, but each individual should be treated with respect and tolerance. Remember, everyone is different in age, experience and the nature of their diabetes. Finding common ground and sharing help is the purpose of this forum.
As to history it's just that as far as I am concerned. We can examine our navels till the end of time, it's still a navel and it won't change anything. I prefer to just get on with things and leave the past where it belongs.
Ken.
