Skies_, I had a similar experience recently. Amoung other steps I took to take care of myself, I am avoiding the forum that disturbed me for awhile. As others have pointed out, and I needed to be reminded myself, it is up to each of us to take care of ourselves. I'm not dising you. I'm encouraging you to take care of yourself.
Having said that, I would encourage you to report any posts that you believe violate community rules. IMHO, someone posting negative stereotypes about a group would be questionable.

i'm just sure i have been told repeatedly that the primary rule of posting in another person's thread is to "be supportive". if a post is not supportive, then isn't it in violation of the site rules ?
how can posting an opinion that contradicts the OP's be considered supportive? and shouldn't the OP (original poster) get to decide what is supportive? i wonder these things~

possible trigger warning......
I've seen frequent debates about what is supportive and what isn't. I'm going to stay my opinion. I don't believe that we have to agree with a poster in order to be supportive. Prime example would be if someone posted they wanted to kill themself. I don't think we would be supportive if we agreed with them. I believe most members would encourage that person to get some real world help.
