Wouldn't it be irrational to think that everyone likes you (or me)??? And if I felt such hurt because someone has me on ignore, wouldn't that be something I'd have to work through?

Certainly everyone can think of something that might irk another about herself? We think about this every time we make a post, imo...which is why some use the hidden option in a post, trigger icons etc.... because we know what we say WILL irk someone.... But too many people don't think the way I think, personally. My brain works differently than most (honest!) It thinks differently and approaches things from different angles than many...and I'm often misunderstood nowdays.

It is tough when you want and maybe NEED support and don't receive it.

For me, most of the issues others have with me are in just 2 forums. Both of which I am secure in myself... but just don't appreciate the way comments are formed against ME.... conflicts with the "acceptable" style of posting: don't put other's comment "down", don't speak to what someone else said (with exceptions), don't post against ME, but post "your view" of the same issue only. Keep the guidelines. I would imagine that at least half of the flaming and otherwise triggering events could be avoided if we all kept to these standards? I'm pretty sure the ignore feature wouldn't be used quite as much then.
