What can I say? To be honest, I was hoping for an apology and a continuation with my introduction thread. I got the idea from a football message board – it worked very well on there! But I hate upsetting people, unless I feel it is absolutely necessary for the future of this planet and its inhabitants. So I can only apologise for making such a fuss. And I can tell he is troubled by my complaints, so I will say sorry to sceptical guy. I deny that I have been abusive though.

When my medical condition is at its worse, it is so difficult to be positive. And with arthritis, people just think you have stiff joints etc; but it affects the whole of me. Mouth ulcers, sore eyes and headaches and that is the main reason I am avoiding chat at the moment. I already spend enough time in front of my screen working. There are other symptoms too, but I won’t go into that just now. I am not looking for sympathy, just searching for a way to lead a more fulfilling life. I still feel young; I still feel full of energy and passion; and I can still be warm to people and make them laugh. Hopefully this will be with me, rather than at me!

Once again, I apologise for causing a scene. But I am having a bad decade!

I’m very sympathetic about what you’re going through, and I can appreciate the psychological manifestations. However, I don’t think any sort of apology is necessary from you or Scep here. Some people will say things you don’t like, that’s the nature of JC.

There’s an introduction thread that already exists and many have already contributed there. I’ve not managed to be as courageous as you and have yet to post my mugshot. Many others also choose to remain private, and I think both these factors impaired your thread from having the desired impact. I wouldn’t take it personally.

Have a look at some of the older threads and you will see comments that attest to a rather supportive community and you’ll also soon identify the chaps and chapettes you may want to have more detailed conversations with.

I’m loath to tell people what to do, and I’ll even say once again that it would be great to have you chatting away on here, but if comments you don’t like have an impact on your health – and this should be your paramount consideration – it might not be a good idea to post here.
