I have gone from a spot where 100 people are engaged...to the creative corner...where there are 16 people engaged...

This is so wrong to me....it is incredibly dismissive...of who I am as a person ....and the choices I made...about where I wished to speak...and how I wished to interact....and it is a falsehood in representing of me.....I was not writing to be creative....I have had so much taken from me....and to come to a place where I stupidly thought I could find refuge to be who ever I wished to be...I get put in the corner...a little pat on the head....you belong here...you don't get to choose......

You people are supposed to be the mental health experts....I am saddened by your lack of understanding...most people here have mental issues...just what do you think your actions add....in any beneficial way....they chose to go to a specific spot...their reasons matter...if this place is for us....not you...yet you apparently feel the need to exert control down to the smallest infraction....I wrote in the wrong spot for you???!!!!?????...

You moved 11 posts just on the first page of that forum....so anyone engaging on that page...reading and responding to multiples of those posts...have to go back and find where you felt they should be moved to...and then go to that spot...back and forth and around and around....you just eliminated the ease of those connections already formed...when someone was in need....people were offering support to each other...and now they have to go find them...because they were in the wrong spot for you..........my opinion....I find this actually harmful...on a lot of levels....I would say I am sure you are aware of that by now...but then....again....I shouldn't assume now should I.........


Thank you so much for sharing the truth of your feelings. I myself have experienced this same "control" and dismissive feeling. To be totally honest, it feels very violating to my trust of who I wanted to share what was on my mind.

I have not started a new thread since that happened and a part of me feels too afraid of doing the wrong thing or being tossed into a group of people of don't know me or what I have shared before.

What you said is very validating for me. I would like to say "thank you" again.
