So this DOES kind of "fix" the issue in a way, but it would also mean that, due to no fault or misstep of my own, I have to sacrifice something useful to me on the site.

That doesn't seem like a particularly decent compromise.
I am perfectly willing to compromise about this issue- but that is not really a compromise.
It means that because I want a safe and comfortable space, I have to not use a feature of my account.

*shrug*
I just don't really see how that makes sense. For me anyway.
yea it can be a catch 22. do I look at that little box and see who is coming to my profile or do I not look and miss out on seeing that one of my friends visited my profile.

for me its not a ....compromise....whether I use all the great features psych central offers or not is simply a way of my choosing whether I want to take care of myself that day....I love it that psych central has these features that we can have freedom of choice with. I live in america. our way of life here in america is one which Americans do have freedoms ...freedoms of all kinds including what we choose to read, look at online. heck we can even look at porn online if we choose too where as many other countries dont have such freedoms, I was reading recently on yahoo news that some countries have banned google, yahoo and other well known part of the internet because the government cant control what their citizens are reading, visiting, chatting with...

to me its a grand thing that we do have the freedom to choose whether we want to look at that little who's visiting your profile box. some days when I know Im just not in the mood to see, read, interact with those that trigger me I do place the person on ignore and I close out that who's visiting my profile" box. that way I can enjoy my time here knowing Im not setting myself up to be triggered. As an American its up to me to take care of myself when I am using the internet. As a member of psych central I know also the general rule of thumb is that only I can take care of me.

psych central supplies the self help tools (like having the "who's visiting the profile" box open or closed per each members choice) but its up to me to choose to use them or not...I choose to use them.
