Can we get this group back to quilting, please? For mental, emotional, and
other than quilting help, recipe searches, & other not quilting topics go to
Face Book or an appropriate newsgroup or email for help. Most days there
are a few quilting messages but most are OT.
Thanks.

That's exactly why they are marked OT - Off Topic. That gives the reader
the choice as to whether they would like to read it or not.
Back in the days when everyone was sitting around the quilting frame -
EVERTHING was discussed. Not just quilting. I have been around this group
for 10+ years and every now and then there are things that have been
discussed that seem to upset some people and not others.
We just have to choose what we want to read and what not to read.
I have not posted to anything Anne has said as I do not have experience with
depression or know of anyone that has had it. BUT, I choose to read what is
going on in her life and PRAY that she does get the help that she needs.

Your whole post was great, Cindy, but I particularly liked this part.
I'm sorry to say that I believe, however, that people find it easier to be
unkind in an ng than they would IRL, say, around a quilting frame. Maybe
the "quilting frame" standard of civility would be a good goal for all of
us!

I totally agree Cindy. There are many posts that I do not read--even
some related to quilting--because they do not pertain to me or what I am
doing atm. However, it hardly a hardship to mark the thread as read and
go on.
RTCQ is a particularly lovely group because as a rule we support each
other in more than just quilting. Amongst us, there is a wealth of
experience and wisdom in many areas.
Best regards,
Michelle in Nevada

No sireee, nope. Not me. There are many rctq-ers who welcome reading
about events and thoughts of our very special group here. Puppies, cooking,
bragging, complaining - bring them all on. The freely shared abundant
wealth of knowledge or support here is such a joy and surprise.
I remember one time suggesting that someone tie a banner to an arrow and
aim it over an ugly light pole. Lo and behold, a state champion archer
appeared then and there.
We have laughed and cried together many times.
No one is being held hostage here. The delete key or simply the down
arrow will allow someone not interested to pass on by.
Share with us - or don't. You don't even have to bring refreshments -
but a jar of Sunny's chow-chow would be welcome. Polly
