its my understanding that everyone is welcome to post from wherever they are on the healing path regardless of how different they are, and their treatment is and no one NEEDS to post at a level not themselves. like I said in my post above there are precautions available to those that do not wish to read about "different" levels of understanding from where they are presently.

So regardless of if the person is different or not their posts are welcome and fitting and doesn't need to be any different unless the moderators tell them differently.

Speaking for myself - Im different and I post a different way than alot of people here and if my posts are not appropuiate for the boards they would have been removed and I would have been banned.

so lets not focus on how OTHER people need to post differently than they do because this place "needs to be different."

The assistant managers, moderators and Doc John are in control of if posts are appropeate or not and if people need to post differently. Obviously the place does not "need to be different " I'm still here and Im different and Im here to stay unless Doc John and the administrators decide differently. So theres no reason for others that are "different" to worry about how things need to be different here. Just like in real life support groups everyone is at different levels and can post at their level without worrying about presenting themselves as being at levels they are not.

so lets get this thread back on to what shadowdancer meant it to be for

everyone to have a thread where they can admit free of judgement and blame THEIR OWN actions (not pointing out others) and appologise to those they may have intentionally or unintentionally hurt along the way. .

So again I am sorry to all that got hurt because they are not ready for how I post and please take care of yourselves by using the options given by Doc John specifically for this purpose of not being ready of other more advanced posting.
