> I don't know but I know a few posters who must complain about someone else's posts or posting habits at last weekly maybe bi weekly and have on more than one occasion made the posters..myself included feel uncomfortable in BABBLE ...and posting. At some point doesn't one have to look at one's self and say..I complain a lot and trigger a lot and share THAT issue without trying to change the original poster? I am half out the door
============
I'm replying to this as a general matter, as I don't always keep up with current specific ones. But maybe in these cases before deciding to post a complaint, people should remember what their own pain in dealing with the problems that brought them here feels like. And consider that they might be inflicting that same kind of self-doubting, hopeless pain on someone else. Which they may be horror-stricken to realize. Most people here are probably fragile in some way, or else they wouldn't need a community like this to help with acceptance. So even if someone states something with apparent conviction or strength, in reality they may easily become hurt and down on themselves. Maybe from behind a computer, a poster who sounds bothersome to someone seems to represent only a faceless "category" of poster, a stereotype. Rather than a unique human being who in reality does *not* embody every seemingly similar poster throughout time rolled into one, who deserves reprimand at last.Hey Fallen, maybe someone will have beat me to the punch, but...Kung Fu. But make it gold stars, ok? : )
