I know some of us have to limit our participation here from time to time because participation may create more emotional upheaval than benefits. An obvious one might be the contentious admin battles which might trigger an aversion to contentious discussions. Maybe you hate to see Bob attacked. Maybe you think he's done something to you or another poster which you think is unfair. Maybe you hate to see people you think of as friends fighting with one another. Maybe you feel attacked or are afraid you will be attacked when the atmosphere seems hostile or emotionally charged.
I have my own ideas about what makes me sometimes feel insecure here. I'd be really curious as to what some of the other "button pushers" are for others, particularly on the other boards. Are they only that you're afraid you'll read one of those "triggering" posts?
