I have tried ignoring the more upsetting posts, but for some reason I still see them. I mean, I know what they are saying, but I am just sick of the negativity. Obviously I am addicted to this place, but I am going to make an effort to step away for a bit.

You are definitely not alone, and it is good to know that I am in good company
