The hateful words and name calling is one thing, but to let the words of one destroy the friendships that have been made are worse.  Here's a quote that I find powerful:

"It was always the power of love that pulled us through and it was the power of laughter that kept us from falling apart."  by anon

Please ladies, keep in perspective why we are here.  Let the power of love and laughter keep us together.  Please don't let one persons words destroy the friendships that have been made here. 

I understand that the words hurt and they were not called for.  We are not here to turn on each other, we are here to help and love each other.  Please, let's pull things back into perspective.  Here's one more quote I would like to share:

"My father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing.  If there's a challenge go for it.  If there's a wall to breakdown...break it down."  by anon

I hope that all can be forgiven, "forgiveness is devine".  And we must forgive in order to move forward.  Please, bring the friendship back into this site.  We all need it.

 Well said Crissy!!!!!!!!!  Thank you!

 While I agree with what you are trying to say, if someone comes on this site and treats people who are trying to help them with disrespect, foul language, etc., I will step up and defend them, no matter what. If  people want to defend the perpetrator instead of the innocent people who are being demeaned, then so be it.

 I have been staying away from some of the postings lately because of the bad vibes I have been noticing lately.  It is unfortunate that we have to take sides in this situation but I think there are alot of friendships made here and we should not let this other situation prevent or stop the goodness that most of us have expressed here even though we are all undergoing breast cancer issues we can still positively communicate with each other.  If someone cannot respect and uses foul language it is their problem not ours.  Let them rant on.  Grow a thick skin and don't let it bother you.  Everyone is different and handles everything differently.  I have been negative alot of the times but have tried to reach out to someone that touched my heart.  Let's try to get back together in friendship and caring.  We are strong women and sometimes we stumble but don't let it get you down.  I pray the 20 something young lady will come to terms with her diagnosis just like most of us have done in our own lives.  No matter how old you are it still hurts fiercely to hear the word cancer.
