I just wanted to commend you for your brave honesty in expressing your disappointment in the way this was handled by some members of the "leadership" involved. I was also disappointed in that and even more disappointed in the fact that very few Esperanzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375150088333673843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654000690381333248.post-61916030049226499362012-03-11T14:45:30.899-04:002012-03-11T14:45:30.899-04:00I have to admit that the whole uproar has had me w...I have to admit that the whole uproar has had me waffling quite a bit so I am trying to stay out, especially since I've realized I seem to know even less about the community than I thought.

I'm also clueless about the various blog rolls although I did add myself to Stirrup Queens a while back. I find it unbelieveable that anyone would complain about the startup of another roll.

Initially, I thought no big deal, people need a group and they made one. But I must admit, that the more I saw the button on people's blogs and the more I heard about it, the angrier I got. Every time I see the button it feels like a "look what you can't have". peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864584121635753142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654000690381333248.post-28586840317051827782012-03-10T11:15:10.869-05:002012-03-10T11:15:10.869-05:00FWIW, I'm hosting a salon because I think the ...FWIW, I'm hosting a salon because I think the bigger questions about what it means to parent "after" infertility are really interesting, and important to both me personally and the greater community. I'd hope--and I guess we'll see--that the particular questions I've raised would be productive, not just angry rehashing of what's already been said.gwinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840990153103781272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1654000690381333248.post-24655394420506082612012-03-10T10:03:29.628-05:002012-03-10T10:03:29.628-05:00Thanks Jendo.

However I don't see that happening soon due to the "Healing Salons" that will be taking place across the community over the next week.
