> So, so, If you put yourself in the shoes of someone who just arrived at this site and read the word bitch, I would think the person would read through the previous posts to see why the person came to the conclusion of them saying the word "bitch"..then they would have the insight to see it was all a joke and there was humour here among the pain and suffering here also.. And if they didn't know it was all a joke, well like you said yourself..nevermind what they might have read.Or maybe they would see the title refering to a person -- any person -- as a "psycho" then open the post and read more references to a "bitch" and decide they have no need to read further to find out who is the topic of such connotations. It seems to me indicative that a medically trained administrator is not attuned to the harm being reported by members of the group he organized, even when members post less-than-supportive messages about their own behavior in an effort to protect their own selves from harm they are suffering by participating in the group.
> At least from those posts onwards the admin board brighten up quite abit and was quite a cheerful place from the result of that post, I think thats very good for a new comer to see.Cheerfulness might be your perception. It could be a factor of who had time available to review messages at that time.
>Not everyone likes moving to the same area and I really can't imagine why a new person would join here to post on the admin board either? In fact has there ever been a new member here that joined and there first post was on admin as this is where they wanted their education and support?.
My life experience has revealed that neighbors in some areas can't understand why people not like them want to live in their neighborhoods. Some corporate cultures are unable to understand why certain persons would be interested in management jobs otherwise held by people unlike the aspirant. People don't always understand or appreciate the legitimate motives of others.
Or perhaps to offer support and education there. Did you compose that paragraph with a person in mind who joined exactly as you say? If so, then the answer would be "yes".
