Who among us actually knows the full story about "anything?" He said, she said, they said....yada, yada, yada, yada. If a person just had all the facts and that extra piece of information which would complete the full truth about an event, they would be among the priviledged few who actually knew the whole truth about an event. Those people are few and far in between. Even then, does anyone actually believe it would be ethical, moral, or fair to expose that truth to the general public? If it were about you, would you like it to become public knowledge, and the basis of public rumors? Before we judge, and condemn someone else, we really should have complete information, not just our own opinions, or what someone else told us happened. Even if we did have that complete information, is it really right or fair to judge or condemn someone else? Think about it; the next one judged or condemned based on incomplete or erronious information could be you.

The folks who founded this site are the one's who call the shots, for better or worse. If you believe that someone is being abusive, report it. Not as a public post, but as a confidential PM to Doug. Then let the chips fall where they may. I choose to beleive in good faith that they are are doing the best they can to continue maintaining this as a viable support site for depression. I've seen nothing to the contrary.


This post is not targeted toward any one person or persons; it is a voice of reason asking everyone to help in creating and maintaining a safe and sane place where all of us depressed people can comfortably turn to for support, and allow members to feel safe in offering support for others. Arguing, fussing, and fighting amongst ourselves is not only counter productive and a waste of valuable human resources, it causes both seasoned and new members to leave the site, which is really a shame, when you think about it.
