You are right, and I have been guilty of this "Freedom of speech" shouldn't mean freedom to hurt. I will take responsibility for my bad reactions and try to do better.

Sometimes it seems that we all are cycleing at the same time and tell you the truth somedays this site can be a trainwreck...but we stay around dont we. We speak our minds here..no holds barred. And sometimes it's just natural to debate ..we are a very diverse group with issues and suffer with alot of pain. Even though we may argue ..mostly there is a kiss and makeup party soon there afterwords .. Are you Bipolar by the way ?

as a member of both communities for two months, there is much, much more fighting in depression.
but, there are squabbles from time to time in here.
but isn't life pretty much like that...a few jerk, many nice people, good moods and bad moods.
just chillax

Good point

I've not been here that long but if I don't like a post or what is happening on it I leave the post. Simple as that. Am finding that a few posts are just being written to cause dissention, and these people are being recognized from other sites as having done this there too. We used to have heated discussions on religion which is normal as there are so many different beliefs and each person has questions about anothers beliefs and some are just in such a bad way they get very angry and attack, but we have to remember we are all at some point in a bad way. This site has far more good to it than bad. A few people seem to want to take away the comfort that some of us find here and that is what is the problem. This is a help site and opinions are that, just one persons opinion and we have to learn we all are allowed to have them, even if we don't agree.

Ya well go to h#@l gozzy, i'll be obnoxious if I want.

By the way I was completely joking LOL. I agree w/ you 100% This is the kind of board where you want to build loving and trusting relationships and when people are completely rude to you, well.. it doesnt help to build the trust you so desperatly seek.

expressing yr opinion is one thing.

namecalling and personal attacks are quite another.

i agree that we should all try to resolve things without being assholes, but not everybody here is capable of that.

like nutz said... we need to walk away from the threads that are too negative.

unfortunately, i have trouble doing so when the attack is against me. *sigh* we're all flawed.

waaaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaaaaaaa

ahhhh kd always with your fish hook and bait.

Thank you! I kept going back to negative posts to try to get poster to seek help but s/he isn't listening, just wants to rage. It's AOK to vent, as in "terrible day, yelled at boss, at spouse, hate my job, hate myself for yelling" but utterly wrong to call names/YELL in all caps or cursing towards readers of posts. doesn't help anyone, especially people in depression. Best idea is go for a long walk(if you are able to walk, some are in wheelchairs--but even chair bounders can Wheel in Nature)--come back after Fresh Air & then start a real discussion w/out hatefulness. PEACE!

I never been fishing nor do I know what hook and bait your talking about . Could you explain this method you speak off ?

no, thanks.
