Censorship

View More Posts Ignore
Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a "controlling" body.

This board has begun to feel like walking through a mine field. I'm not talking about DS or the CL's. I mean us telling each other how to feel, or react, or what your opinion should be.

If we can't be ourselves on here, what good is it?? Of course we should respect each other, but we don't always have to agree with each other.

Not one of us is perfect. Maybe we should think about how it will effect others when we decide we know what is best for them. Clean your own doorstep before you try to clean your neighbors.

Censorship - It's making me paranoid.

" Yes, I enjoy more activity here, too.

This is not really bothering me. Just a discussion for all of us to think about. "

" I dont agree that there are cliques here.. i used to feel that way too, when i was newer..

first of all, it felt like no one really wanted to help me figure out what was going on with me.. hmmm.. i dont see a bunch of pdocs laying around here. but with that being said the ones who did offer info, were usually spot on

no one wanted to prop me up and make me feel better.. little did i realize at the time, people here had established their own friends and were busy propping them up.. that must be hard on a bp.. emotionally tending to another bp. how much should one person have to give...

after youve been here for a while, you make your own way. find a few friends of your own.. i find peoples actions on the board make them who they are here..

can you name a few quiet people, who hug a lot? they get a lot of hugs too... thats their thing..

can you name a few people who pop in, share their gems of empathy and wisdom, but never get really close to anyone..

can you name a few people who themselves find solace in laughter.. so therefore try to make people laugh on the board.. even if totally inappropriate..

can you name a few people who are always logged on, always hugging niceties, always responding on threads...

point being.. yeah, newbie.. not newbie.. we all find our shtick here.. and that is all one can hope for.. a community of people to talk to and debate with and understand.. and hopefully at least one person on here, really cares about you and if 5 do.. you are a lucky fekker. "

" Dah, ZN, so many pearls of truth, little grasshopper.

I find that when I perceive myself as being judged, and misunderstood, I actually am judging others for their actions and imagined thoughts.

Peeved, pissed or in peace, its my choice. "

" Totally agree, find your shtick, grove, even debates, but definitely shits and giggles!

(not at once I hope : ) "
