We must tread lightly with others' feelings.

Brothers,
I noticed (and responded to one) two threads on the F&F forum that can lead to emotions and responses getting out of hand. This is the nature of the site. We are hurt. Our friends and partners are trying to understand (with the sometimes reward of being lashed out at). As a result, people may misread very valid observations and responses to same.
All of us, both we who survive and those who support us, are hurting. We hurt with what we've been forced to live with. They hurt with seeing us hurt, being unable to help, and occasionally being attacked for their pains.
We must, MUST, tread as equally lightly with their feelings as we ask them and each other to be.
This isn't the place for hostility, agents provoceteur, or anything that isn't conducive to healing and understanding.
Please, be careful. Be supportive. Love one another.
Peace and love,
Scot
