What to do?

Anyone else feeling uber paranoia about what to post recently? You post having an opinion out and out war breaks out. You post having suicidal thoughts you get someone going to accuse said person of being attention seeking. You post funny threads there's someone slagging them off saying we should be paying attention to the suicide posts. You post hug posts people feel excluded and think there're cliques that don't exist?

Is it just me or is it getting a bit out of hand? People like Cap and nadareal and numerous others have posted advice but still it persists...This isn't an attack on anyone or anything in particular before I get the whole (how did someone put it peasants and pitchforks) just an observation but just looking at that post that cap made and it seems there are so many different opinions on like absolutely EVERYTHING that there's always some dispute. Should we all be labelling our threads 'war' seems appropriate recently since everyone has to apologise for everything. Just look at the number of threads that say 'I'm sorry' but...

Is this just the result of highly charged emotions you think?

i beleive that with a forum like this there are always going to be emotions running high.
And people venting their anger on other people.
This is not right but it is how things are.
I beleive it is to be expected.

I post what I need to when I need to if people dont like theyre entitled to their opinion as I am to to mine. But I come here to help and be helped that wont happen if I let people box me in. Read my journal too (shamlesspromo)

Actually, everytime, I post exactly what I feel. I post my exact opinion and I leave nothing out. I can be extremely blunt sometimes and I often offend people unintentionally, but that doesn't stop me from being honest. I don't believe in holding things in. Everyone has a right to voice an opinion.

Some people are able to respect what I think and I appreciate that. Often there are people who do not and it frustrates me. But you know what? Fuck them. They don't matter to me. :) What matters is that I said what I truly felt and was honest to myself and to everyone else.

im over it too arch, i dont think anyone should be made to feel bad for a thread they've started or a post they've made (unless it was abusive). Its sad that thats the way things seem to be going.

There have been plenty of threads made by myself on other sites where I've said things like, "Ugh. Why won't you guys just SHUT UP with this crap already?" And some people are like, "YOU shut up." And things like that. I posted them because I really don't like conflict. I don't like having beef with other people and I don't like people fighting and causing negativity around me. It just makes me go... ARGH!!!

I think some people like to abuse the phrase "Agree to Disagree."

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
