sometimes I am afraid to post - not because of what they will think of me - but the bashing that could happen......not saying it would happen just the fear of it happening.... but I post anyways most times :)

No, not really.

no not at all. we all enitled to our own opinons and when you post something on here,you will get it.

Not really sure anyone can truly know anyone anymore and I feel pretty comfortable that people recognize and try not to judge in here as we all feel that was some of the problem we had in our relationship. Eh but then I post because frankly I don't really care what people think of me in here. I am who I am and I like me... sometimes, most the time... but thats issues with me judging me and not others.

Most of the time, no.

I view each response on here as an individual response instead of feeling like it's an actual group responding all at once.

As far as BB's worries about bashing, people really don't get bashed all that often on here.

If you go out of your way to tell people to F off, you condone cheating, or you go trolling on here for your soulmate, people are for the most part pretty tolerant and understanding.

I'm not saying you would do those things, just giving you some examples that I've seen.

Nope, can't say that I am. When I first got here, I was afraid to post. Now not so much, I don't really care what anyone thinks of me. Love me or hate me...

Oops, that should have read, Unless you...(insert rest)

I've had people that have no idea what my situation is criticize me or the way that I handle things. I've even had people complain that when I talk about my uneducated idiot x or his 7th grade educated ho that I am insulting them.
When these same people have a crackhead, deadbeat x that is married to an excon crackhead and these two are around their children then maybe they will understand what I deal with daily.

Don't worry about being bashed - go by the golden rule and unless a certain someone rears his ugly head you will not be bashed.

Most people on here are hurt - and don't want to hurt others.

Just throw it out there - people here are wonderful!!

Nope.
I feel very free to express how I feel here.
And I get love and understanding in return.
Sometimes a much needed laugh or swift kick in the ass.
But it's always supportive.

Me NO. I think that's clear.

Hell No. The one thing I love about DS is I have been allowed to who I am. I make no excuses because I am who I am. I have told things about myself here that I haven't most people in my day to day life. I live with no apologies and post with no apologies.

Believe it or not there is not a lot we haven't heard around here. for the most part we try to respond with love and support. Although you may have noticed our frustration with a person or two you should know there is probably a history there. We don't tear each others hearts apart.

This is a place where you can feel free to be honest....Lord knows I've done it...mainly because you never know who your story can help.

But I will speak for others... Yes, they are, because of people bashing. I recieved many messages from nice people that had nice thimgs to say about my thread, but were afraid to post for fear of being Bashed.

As for me.. I will always stand up for what I believe in.

Did someone steal the jelly out of your donuts -again-?

Put them on the fridge next time.

I usually say what I mean and mean what I say..so...I have no fear. There are going to be haters everywhere.
