I have never posted a blog before, today I am because I am so outraged by what I have been reading in the blogs today. I am posting this in support of those of us who are sick to the back teeth of the actions of a thoughtless few who day after day continue to post Jokes (although most of them barely qualify as that they are so pathetic and crass). I am absolutely appalled at the behaviour of some people and their nastiness towards others here, and don't for a moment believe comments like 'get a life' when said in Cancer community, are 'innocent remarks' or acceptable, especially when they are directed at the terminally ill. When the Admins made a perfectly acceptable alternative place to post jokes, I had hoped that they would stay out the blogs, because they aren't the right place for them. As others have said, this isn't a joke website, there are countless of them out there on the internet if that's what you need. Just Google 'Jokes' its NOT rocket science. I will say it plain and straight too, I don't believe its a mistake when the Jokes are still posted in the blogs - the same people make the same mistake day after day after day and have done for weeks. People gently try to tell them that it is inappropriate, but they ignore it, they have NO interest in anyone else's needs but their own. I think its time the Admins took stronger action to enforce the ruling on Jokes in the blog section, as it is clearly being flouted by those with little or no consideration for others needs, or respect for their wishes. This is a Cancer Support Website - if cancer bothers you, or people discussing it troubles you, I suggest you are in the WRONG place.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
