Yes, being assertive can be abused. As I recently commented, we need to pick our battles responsibly. Some are not worth the effort and aggravation.
Friedrich Nietzsche reminds us, "He who fights monsters should look into that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."
Be well.

Hey Byz,
I have learned something very valuable from you Byz, less is more; keeping it simple keeping things uncomplicated and easy to help or support with few words but a strong presence.
And I looked into my version of the Abbys I made my statement and blocked the person not the issue of why I was reacting; being afraid of the chat room which I still am but understand why now. It's no lomger the people in the chat room it is what happens or might happen in the chat room so that has moved forward. This is something really important for me and something I am grateful for.
Thanks Byz I appreciate your guidance, I appreciate everyones comments they imperative to understanding the person,
Rhia
