Oh my goodness Justy... you didn't say a thing like that, did you? No, the person who was "getting after" me was, as it turned out, being triggered by the avatar I use... and one of their comments was to "let me voice my opinions" when I was already active in the chat.. So, no, it wasn't you.

And, if it hadn't been so busy in there that night, most would have been able to read that that member and I came to an understanding... that it was a trigger and that member was taking it out on me.

These types of things are to be expected, but like Dex said (I think) we have a lot of fragile members. .. and the rest of us are pretty sensitive too! LOL So we tend to hear things in our own context... and we all know that when we have 20 witnesses to an accident, we have at least 18 different stories as to what happened!

While I agree that these types of threads can be disturbing, and wish we had "caught" it earlier and at least used the trigger icon... I think it does the site good to have these releases once in a while. It's tough to engage them though, I know.<font color=blue>

That's MY opinion, folks, only. But we all tend to "stuff" feelings (a word I've heard a lot on here lately) and feelings and attitudes and all that "stuffed" stuff comes out... think this happens every so often, and isn't anyone's "fault."
<font color=purple>
Finding fault, or needing to blame someone is indicative of many of our basic problems: many ppl were raised with that idea in the family... things never just happen, but someone has to be at fault... and, like other things in life, it comes into the site...<font color=green>

A good, healthy discussion of opinions helps all of us... but, LOL, it's tough to do when so few of us are healthy!
