In reply to sensitivity to provocative? posts, posted by sleepygirl on January 30, 2006, at 1:35:14
Sleepygirl,
Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive to provocation as well, but I too think that the number of provocative posts on these boards (well, at least on the meds board) has reached an unhealthy level as of late. I say this partially because I've felt quite upset by some of these messages, but also because I think this provocation has caused the Psycho-Babble community to deteriorate to some extent. When several veteran members get PBCs over some posts that were made by brand-new members (unless they just changed names), then yes, the posts made by these new members are overly provocative. Maybe it's just me, but I think there's been a departure from support and education on the meds board over the last few days, and I too am frustrated.
So, Sleepygirl, I'm not sure that you'll find this helpful, but I wanted to let you know that you're not the only one feeling frustrated by the provocation here.

I seem to want to call EVERYONE on their behavior and assert some serious limits regarding what I can tolerate - it's not necessarily appropriate and perhaps just some displacement of all the frustrations I'm experiencing in real life lately.
