I was upset even more when I did not receive any personal acknowledgement from Dinah for what I had done in her brief, laconic message to me.

No organization would survive very long using indirect tactics like this. They are extremely insulting to the rest of us.

It is more a matter of feeling respected and valued as one among many people who share the joys, sorrows, victories and setbacks of their personal journeys. I feel so let down to discover how cold, heartless and impersonal this site actually is. Even if I wanted to share something of my own life and experience in the future, I couldn't do it. That requires a kind of trust which I can never feel again here.

I am not an expert at that, but in some cases, would one have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows?
> Loutwinleaf,
In reading your post here, I think that you are concerned about the aspect of the administration here in relation to the mental-health of its members.
I think that what you posted here leads me to believe that you and I may think the same on that here and I think your post could be one of the top ten posts to be inducted if there is ever a {Hall of Fame} of posts.
