> are you doing ok dear?
I am okay, just trying to explain things. I am sad you are not as well. This isn't an issue about you, it is more of an issue of what is allowed on this site.

if someone were to post a joke about sexual abuse (incest whatever you want to call it) and i felt unable to read it, i just wouldn't.
I understand what you mean, but you are strong person, what about the ones who are not able to resist. Not everyone here is sound mentally to handle the fallout of being triggered reading something that even with a trigger warning, they still might read it. So it come down to what SHOULD be allowed on a mental health site. I think a mental health site should be extra sensitive to abuse issues, joking about those issues can cause a lot of anguish for some. A trigger warning isn't enough I believe.
Some might not even know they will be triggered by a certain subject but are. So isn't it best not to allow jokes about sensitive issues of abuse?
, is babbleland to become vanillaland now?
As a matter of fact, I think babblelands should be more vanilla like.

> i should be allowed to post just as much as anyone else. at least i think. and i shouldn't feel bad about what i post. blocked, if it's deemed uncivil? sure enough! but, i have enough anxiety to run all the cars in america on and this sure isn't helping it.
Well as the rules stand, you can post just about anything. But in doing so, you also have to take the responsiblity that goes along with it.
This is why I avoid sensitive jokes no matter who I talk to online or offline, because the potential for hurt and being offensive is high.
Some topics are risker than others. It is a choice we make, especially if there is not rules against certain topics, but we are still responsible for what we say. Is it worth it to take a that risk that might have a higher potential to hurt others?
