I've removed a post

In case people are wondering I've removed a post. Jan and I have the ability to flag posts which hides them from the board. I'm not going to report it so unless someone else contacts DS there will be no warnings or anything.


Obviously while the topic is relevant to people's mental health the discussion is just creating division on the board and isn't helping anyone.

Personally I thought it was a basic conversation on the environment of mental health. I did not see any insults etc. But whatever.

Guess that means it really was inappropriate.

No, what it means was the heat being generated wasn't appropriate on a support board.

Deep breaths..... We are here to support each other and that's the reason for DS.... Some topics can go south really quickly when people aren't on the same page so although relevant for discussion perhaps not on here

Also the ROR don't allow fighting on the site and fights can generate easily with some topics

Soooooo how about some tunes and cake?

Daily Strength is a site for support and there are many vulnerable people on here Jeane

The site has Rules of the Road that everyone on here has to follow

I don't know what you mean about 'when I'm not posted"??? and confusing?.... I'm not sure what you're talking about?

Rules of the Road...…. They're also on the bottom for the page under "Help"

Jeane, as far as I can tell nothing you have posted has been removed - you didn't comment on the thread in question.

On the very rare occaisions when I remove stuff (other than spam) I let them know and why - in private. Usually DS removes stuff and they also always let people know.

It was just a political debate. I guess I should not have started it with my post, but I slipped up. Yea this place is for support not for debate.

    I have to say, I've been fairly stable for the past 9 years, except for anxiety issues.  For any who don't know me, before 2017, I was a Mess.  Seriously undermedicated crazy person.And, since I've been stable for so long, I had come to believe I was "cured".  That bipolar just miraculously ended for me....Until last month, when some things started happening that used to happen.  And now I'm...
