if you have been over there, what is your name on that forum?
Im not convinced you have actually joined it , since your experience is so much more different than mine.

i have been there also and in my opinion its a great place, and feels safe, and is very supportive. Its been very active already.
people have been kind, appropriate, and following the rules. there are already some great conversations going.

its only been open for four days and has hundreds of posts already. so it isnt the same old, same old. its just getting started. give it a chance already.

The people posting there do not WANT a public site, or a peer moderated site. They want a private place to post.The people posting seem really happy to be there.

to me, it is completely worth every penny, and a whole lot more knowing that it is private and so supportive

and please quit bashing kathys site on a public forum. thank you.

amanda louise, if you are that unhappy with kathys forum, then write to the administrators there and tell THEM the opinions you are writing in a public place. because if you are that unhappy with it, you should certainly complain to kathy about it so she can address your concerns.

Nowhere does kathy say youre responsible for other members happiness. And of course youre supposed to introduce yourself - thats normal.The forum isnt meant to be for lurkers, its meant for participants.
If you want to just go spy on the forum, then why are you there? are you actually participating?

In my opinion you have misrepresented the guidelines for kathys forum DDCF and anyone here at pyche forums can go read the guidelines for themselves.

also, it actually is really scary that you are teaching people how to be sneaky on the internet. because if they are on a legitimate website, and theyre all hidden and sneaking around, that isnt going to help people feel safe around you or on the site. if people are lying to kathy, i bet she probably doesnt want them there anyway.
kathys website and forum are built on honesty and genuine healing, not on sneaking around and acting phony.
