Pegasus, I'm sorry that you got triggered. I think what you guys do is a thankless job. I appreciate what you do though. I have done message board moderating before and know that it can be really stressful when dealing with people when they are feeling their worst and you are not at your best either.

I think people forget that you guys are volunteers who are dealing with your own stuff as well.

I just try to remember when people get frustrated and say such things it is generally not directed at anyone in particular. I think people often times are just posting their perceptions of their life (ie: no one cares) and translating it to this forum. It can be hard when a person is hurting and they see some threads get almost instant responses and some threads get so many... and then theirs don't. That is not a reflection on anyone here (not staff either), just a reflection of the world in many ways.
