A list of Moderators could be added to the greeting, if I had it. I requested it some time ago.

Since this is still in the self help forum, and frankly I can't personally do anything to change the admin issues of PC, I have to continue to address my ongoing attitude of what could be improved here (IMO, see?)

I think if a set of standard PMs could be created and sent out, rather than a PM from the mod/admin trying to phrase something sensitive and at times fumbling... I know for me that would take some of the personal sting out of receiving such notices.

It's a tough thing to always have to walk (or feel like one is) on eggshells here. ANY time there is a thread where I voice an opinion that isn't widely accepted, I hate logging in. The anticipation of having a PM from a mod where once again I have to explain myself (or, where I am frequently expected to "know better" than) anyway, that anxiety is unnerving. It's almost not worth posting anything but a smiley of agreement, even if there is another side to view it ...the one I hold. My self esteem isn't so fragile that I can't overcome most anything, however I don't think that's so for many members. There are a lot of members who don't post, just so they can avoid any appearance of conflict or hurt, imo.

I don't talk like "everyone" else here at PC (nor IRL.) But even when I try to find correct, acceptable words, I'm still not always understood. We don't have the option of tone inflection here, and many ppl create their own pauses and accents to what they read. I try reading something a few times with different emphasis before I "take offense" or flag a moderator on a post.

Another area that I need to address for myself is the movement of posts that contain ANY thing spiritual being moved to the Spirituality Forum. For me, not getting upset that "it just isn't right" to do that, needs to be thought about. How is a thread about Psychotherapeutic Spirituality methods NOT proper in Psychotherapy Forum, but only for Spiritual support? I sure hope that isn't the view of things to come here. Isolating everything spiritual into a neat little box just doesn't fly with me. How do I do self help on that one?
