I would just like to take the opportunity to bring up an issue here, and I do not want this to turn into a thread, so I would be happy if it is locked, but it needs to here.
This forum should be a safe place for all, including the chat rooms.
We all come from different backgrounds, we all have our ups and downs, we sometimes feel so alone in this place, for whatever reasons, but we all have a duty to respect others' opinions, no matter what they may be.
We come here in various states of recovery, from the one's who may be facing it raw, to the one's who never addressed the past issues for years, to which I belong.
The one thing we should all be wary of is to never assume another's intention in a post.
Read the post; digest it and read it again, read it as many times as you want, but respect the poster, if you think the post hurts, then reports it to the mods.
The golden rule in here is to never vent anger at anybody who posts, if you don't like it then do not reply, retaliation in anger can cause serious grief to a survivor.
I got to a point in my life where I took all the sh*t that could ever be thrown at me, and that was even when I was a child, I took it personally then, but not now, and anyone can have a go, that's OK. I say it's OK, but it causes its own problems of trust.
It was not too long ago, that there was big upheaval in this place, and it does not take much to start the fire, one burning candle can light a thousand candles.
I just think we need to be ever vigilant in our intention, and I know sometimes that I can slip, and we all do from time to time, but I always ready to make up.
The forum should be a place of safety for all, with no exceptions, if we let hate and anger bang on the door, then do we open the door to it?
I ask for no reply to this post, and I mean just that, because unless we behave, then teacher will be real hard on us, and yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way.
Stay kool

Sorry, bad joke I know, but I'd been holding it in since you first posted this! Besides, there is been enough drama and emotional trauma here recently, a little humor can at times go a long way.
