It's somewhat disconcerting to me that you feel that this is not a good place for you to hang out. I'm wondering if there isn't some better way to handle disagreements -- if we are not allowed to mention them? I don't want to offend any of the administrators here -- I appreciate what PC has done and been here for me -- but my experience is that psychology and psychotherapy haven't offered me anything much in the way of how to handle conflicts, other than to walk away. And I think that is a dangerous situation, for me personally, in terms of losses, and for society generally.
Hence, a kind of idealistic idea on my part -- which the admins of PC may not like or agree with -- I've found it easier to step back and consider/integrate my response, if I want to make one, here online than in real life. It's provided me a social context in which to learn something that I didn't find in the mental health system, as I was able to find services.
Is anybody else interested in anything like that? And, if so, any suggestions about how we might go about it?

This forum is the safest one I've ever used, and I think the moderation is good.
I'm talking about my PTSD triggers, when I see others support what looks to my like 'flying off the handle' or lack of empathy directed at someone who is clearly vulnerable. It's not so much individuals but the group dynamics that I find triggering. But it's not difficult for me to avoid participating when that happens.
I get triggered from merely watching the news even for a few seconds these days, so don't take my opinion as the mainstream.
In your thread you mentioned the person who ignored you, so I was saying start a new thread without referring to that situation. Or just wait to hear back-maybe a moderator can give you advice.
