Alas, it wasn't intended to be supportive. It was intended as an indictment of the behaviour of certain members here that has in no way changed since last I visited regularly. I should have made it clear that this post was not based solely on this thread. I read several other threads before replying to this one and found, to my everlasting dispair, that nothing has changed.

As for cliques, they certainly exist here as much as they are certain to exist in any large group that is subdivided as with the various forums on this site. This isn't always a bad thing, but it certainly can be. My post, however, was not referring to that either.

All I have to do is read and I can see that self-righteousness and deliberate thin-skinned reactions continue to dominate here. It's too bad, really, because for the most part, this is a wonderful place with many wonderful members. I don't think it's wise to post examples, but I assure you I can backup what I assert if neccessary.

I was sure that after all this time, upon returning I would see Psych Central in a different light than that which prompted my absence. It turns out I was wrong. My reasons for coming back currently outweigh my dismay but I don't know for how much longer.

Don't worry if you disagree with me. You're entitled to your opinion and I have no intention of getting into an argument with anyone over this. I was mainly hoping to open some eyes but as has long been the case, those who have eyes to see have no need and the rest are without.
