Hi guys
Took me a while to get back here as I've trying to resolve what appears to be friction within our thread. Of course, I have no power here and just because I started the thread does not mean I have any control over it, so what I'm about to say is simply a request.
We all came together here to share our sociability and comradery, for me, it was a powerful move as I am not generally known for being social. I personally enjoy every word of the stories you all share, not just the good times but the bad times too because I see how you all pull together.
None of us could have predicted the advent of this horrible virus and the trauma it is putting many through. I accept we all deal with it differently and that we have our reasons for doing so. The thing is, on a mental level we may not be releasing the stress or pain because we feel so helpless in the face of something so wicked. I understand that truly I do.
However, the current situation on this thread is causing hurt, hurt to people we care for and have nurtured for nearly a year. I would like that hurt to stop.
Here is my proposal, as I said, I cannot enforce anything here as I am just a poster like you.
There already exists another thread discussing covid-19, here is the link
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/covid-non-diabetes-related.172793/
May I suggest that those people who wish to be updated or themselves update information post there and yes, I include myself in that as I have been guilty of derailing the thread. Now, it's not much to ask, but it might just return this thread to the caring, compassionate, and funny thread it was.
I'm more than happy to hear your views on it, by private message if you wish. I will be following my own advice effective immediately.
Hugs to you all
