I'm not excited by some of the reactions expressed here either. But I don't consider it a time to attempt to strike out at others by dragging poor Rainbow into my personal battles.

A psychiatrist colleague, who works in a residential program not intended for patients with BPD, said he can always tell when someone with BPD has been admitted, because suddenly the staff are fighting amongst themselves, and friends turn against each other. They usually find that the source of discord is that BPD patient. I don't believe this is done intentionally by Rainbow, but that is often the effect her threads have. I have made one or two angry posts on another person's thread, for sure. But turning against the entire community and using another person's thread to do that is are recipe for disaster. And is the opposite of supportive for the OP.
This is one of those times when hitting the "thanks" button is completely inadequate. So let me just say "thank you" and if I were a religious person, I'd say "amen."
Thanks for this!
