Agree with you wholeheartedly :)

devils advocate here.... aren't you being judgemental about those who you perceive as unsupportive and judgemental?

people are always going to disagree... yes it's about how you say it and not just what you say (and hard to do on the net)

we are also going to be judgemental... some people will keep that to themselves where as others will gladly share... it is human nature to judge and it's not always a bad thing

if you see something abusive going on... report and ignore.. we fought long and hard for that ignore button and it is so needed in many cases

and yes I fully appreciate how judgemental I am being :)

here's to having more sharing and support

Very true ruby, one's judgemental is another's non-judgemental. I always considered the term judgemental to be a little judgemental too really as I've seen it used for things which people's opinions on vary vastly.

Let's just expect other people to disagree on a public forum. If it bothers you too much to where it is making you sick, click ignore and you won't have to deal with it anymore.

Ignore is not always hateful, it can be used for personal reasons and personal growth.

I think there is a fine line between judgement and opinion. Sometimes it is very clear someone is being judgemental and other times someone is just giving an opinion based upon limited information. I believe we all have people we are biased towards and want to protect. I wish I had friends like this :-)

It's pretty hard NOT too see judgementality. We are here to help each other feel better, not worse. Am I not entitled to state that?

Cypressmoon, no where did I say it was "making me sick"...

It may be human nature to judge, but we also have to keep in mind context. Many are here to express how we feel and what is going on with us in search of support. If someone is that bothered, then either ignore or report if necessary or if you have a judgement, just don't post it. As someone else mentioned earlier, there's a fine line between opinion and judgement and you can usually tell when someone is being either one. But I imagine there aren't many trolling and just giving and receiving the support they're seeking :)

We are ALL in emotional pain or we wouldn't be here to begin with. Chill, and give people the slack that you would want given to you.

I think cypress was trying to help you not get upset to the point it makes you sick because you can't control others statements and when someone reacts to a post because of personal issues and attacks a post....the ignore button is your friend :-).

As Thumper's mother said, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

Maybe if we all tried that, with a wiggle and a waggle, the world would be a better place!

So if you don't agree with a post, just move on. If you do, give support, or kind suggestions if they are asked for????

Judgements are just opinions, not facts. And support does not necessarily mean passifying someone. Sometimes it means showing them the other side or even pointing out uncomfortable truths. Now if someone attacks another personally by calling them names or something of the sort, then that's completely uncalled for in my opinion.

Geez, im sorry i said anything now..I just felt the urge to defend a fellow member who felt personally attacked..

I feel the person you support was attacked by one person in particular. When someone wishes something in hate upon someone else........I feel this is a personal attack and it shouldn't have been done just because of a post triggering them. The person posting did not deserve it in my opinion :-).

As ruby said, how can you write a post about judging when you are doing to the same? We are here because we are depressed. I don't think I know anyone who is well here. Sometimes what is written is distorted by the person reading it due to the depression they suffer from. I am NOt judging you, but maybe a personal message to the person you perceive hurt you would be a better way to make peace instead of starting threads like this.
