This topic is about the feelings of a member of the ostomy community who has noticed some criticism regarding the frequency of her blog posts. She values the online community and feels a strong connection with many members, but is disheartened by the negativity from some fellow ostomates. Blogging is a way for her to clear her mind and share her experiences, which she believes is the purpose of the site. She emphasizes that she has always been kind and has no intention of stopping her posts. She encourages those with concerns to speak with the site administrator rather than confronting her directly. Additionally, she mentions that although her username might appear in the chat room, she rarely visits it, and members should message her if they want to chat.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by other community members:

1. Many members agree that the forum is meant for open sharing, and there is no such thing as posting too much. Frequent contributions make the site more engaging for everyone.

2. When dealing with critics, it is suggested to ignore negative or judgmental comments, much like one would ignore scam artists or other unwanted interactions online.

3. There is encouragement for the poster to continue writing. Several members have found her openness inspiring, which has helped them be more honest about their own conditions, both on the forum and on social media.

4. A reminder that mutual support is crucial. Reading others’ posts can help distract members from their own challenges and build a sense of community.

5. The general sentiment is that if someone finds the content excessive or off-topic, they can simply choose not to read it or bring up the issue with site administration, rather than discouraging participation.
