But it's more than that. I posted when I first got here about this as I had the impression that it was not okay to make long posts. Some people said go for it, but many said they didn't like them, and wouldn't read them. Mine are always long, but there's never any shortage of people reading, in spite of that.

If there is some sort of repressive fear of Posting-Police judging us, how can we really benefit from this board. We need to feel okay with posting our problems.

I can tell you both that I am interested in your problems. And I know there will be many others who are as well. Anyone who is not interested can leave the thread and go and "not care" somewhere else. Don't let the fear of these people inhibit your posts. It's toxic.
