[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm sorry you're having trouble conceiving but other people's successes will not rub off on you and neither will their unfortunate circumstances.  This is a public forum where people are free to post as they like [b]as long as it is not offensive[/b].[/quote]

No question that people are free to post as they like - and they do.  I'm appealing to people's decency and respect for those on this forum who want success stories, clearly as a means to gain some positive perspectives.  When someone asks for a success story why respond with your tale of woe?  It actually IS offensive to hijack a thread and relay negative information when it has been expressly NOT asked for.

Lastly, this isn't about superstition or worry that others' experiences will "rub off" on me or others.  It's that time and time again people seem more interested in responding about themselves and their situation, even if it runs counter to the whole point of the OP's post.  If women and men can't use this forum as a means to gain support and positive feedback from a (presumably) supportive audience, then where else can they turn? [/quote]
