And exactly my point people have already been comming here to the community boards reading and using our information that has been put on the PUBLIC boards that each person has chosen to put there themselves.

I am not the one that will be the result of people coming here because of what they read in my blog -

outsiders are ALREADY coming here, copying pasting and otherwise using what is placed upon the public bourds volluntarily by each member here.

If you don't what your posts and threads to be copied and pasted and others letting their opinions about what you post be known then you should not be putting that information out here on the public boards.

Regardless of who it is and the topic being discuss putting things on public message boards means you are ok with what you are posting and that others no matter who those others are, are going to be seeing, using and forming opinions about what you post on public message boards regardless of if you know they are doing it or not.

Its already been happening from the first post that anyone puts on the public boards they are volluntarily dishing up their posts to be viewed and used by all regardless of knowing about it.

The only differnece in what I am doing is that I have flat out said this is what I have decided to do.

No one in the past year has had a problem with the fact that I have been doing this all along in my blog when they have been reading my blog. But yet now that I have disclosed that I have been doing this and am going to continue doing this and doing more of it people are now upset.

sorry to seem cold here but the bottom line is I am not doing anything different with my blog that I have not already been doing for the past year except that I now am going to be placing links to my blog here on the boards so that people can just follow my links from the community boards back to my blog.

As for each person telling me "yes reply to me" and "no don't reply to me" -

That is not how support groups work. In real life when in a support group do you not participate in a conversation just because one member says don't talk to me?

No you partake in the conversation for yourself and the other members of the support group and those that don't want you to talk to them can space off, doodle in their notebooks or whatever other things they can that will prevent them from listening to the person talking for the benefit of others in the group and themselves.

The same with on line -

No one has been forced to post what they are posting and EVERYONE is allowed to participate in public conversations. And that include quoting a persons post or reply.

There are tools here that enable those who don't want to listen to the part of the conversation that they do not want to partake in. And no one is forcing anyone to post anything they don't want others to read and use.

If I limit myself to only replying to those topics and people that others in the community deem acceptable that is not being a support group.

That is being a dictatorship of a few members preventing the one member from expressing themselves and partaking in the conversation and preventing others from gaining the support and information that they may need.

Now Im sorry that this issue with people being upset and triggered by my posts have come to the point where I now have to put my posts invisible to only those that click on the links that will take them to the corresponding post that contains my experiences and so on concerning the topics being discussed.

No one is being forced to click on the links and no one is forced to post things that they don't want others to have available to them to read and use as they see fit.

Its PUBLIC meswsage boards open to EVERYONE including nonmembers. If you don't want members and non members to read and gain knowledge and form opinions from what you are posting that is your decision

AND you have control YOUR decision by what you volluntarily place on the public message boards NOT by saying here you go I want this on the public boards but I don't want anyone to read, use and form opinions about what I have posted.

PUBLIC message boards don't work that way. If you don't want others using and forming opinions to help themselves and others then that information should not be volluntarily posted by you.

If there is anything that you don't want members and nonmenbers to know about and use then don't put it on the public boards for the PUBLIC message boards are open to members and non members.

I will not be writing names but have been given administrative permission to continue summarizing and starting to post subject lines with in my blog.

I have explained my side of this as much as I can so I will no longer be responding to those that want me to change my decision back to publically posting my information instead of keeping my replys under the cover of a link and or problems of others have VOLLUNTARILY put posts on the PUBLIC boards being viewed, used and opinions formed of since they began posting here at psych central but don't want their VOLLUNTARILY placed posts to be viewed used and so on.

If you don't want to see my replys then don't click on my links.

If you don't want nonmembers to view and use your personal experiences then don't put them on the public boards.

I will from time to time bump this thread to the top because the first post is a notification of how to locate my blog and this thread contains links so that others here can just click on the links to get to my blog.

But like AlteredStates has pointed out I have made my choice.

And as I have pointed out my choice was made because as previously posted dispite my and the administrators and moderators efforts of having tools available and supplying advice that should have taken care of this issue over my posting MY experiences and information have been disregarded and not used.

Again I am sorry that this issue has come to this point. If anything comes out of this I hope at the least people will start using the tools and advice given to them to take care of themselves so that they are no longer needlessly triggered by other peoples posts and threads. I may be the first person that has publically posted this idea of taking replys to the blogs and supplying the community with links to those replys but that does not mean that others members having this same problem won't end up left with this as their only option and begin to use this option themselves.

This site has options but they cant make a member use those options to take care of themselves. But those subjected to those that refuse to use those options now have an option available to them so that they are no longer subjected to those not taking care of themselves by using the sites self care options.

The choice is yours - use self care options or blog replys will exist for the self care of those giving the replys.

Take care.

Maybe someday I will be able to freely post MY experiences and information back on the public boards without having to add the cover of a blog link because others have learned to use the sites tools and advice offered them so that they will not be triggered and or don't have to read MY experiences.
