There's a few people who complain of seeing others' posts and make comments they are offputting or they don't like them. I thought this was against the rules to make comments like that about others' posts? These aren't people who are 'triggered' by them.

I didnt see anything in the guidelines saying you couldnt comment on other people's posts. How else would it be a support forum? And you wont always get support which sucks. And not everyone will agree with you. I know I have strong opinions sometimes and have rubbed some people the wrong way and they have told me so.I try and make amends if I can. But I do not think sensoring things we do not like helps. Because we will always take issue with somethings. I do wish people would be more sensitive. I try my best. I learned the hard way recently how being dismissive, insensitive and judgey can be unfair and unkind. I felt really bad about it.

If people don't like topics couldn't they avoid them insteading of complaining they don't like the content of others' posts discussing abuse that have nothing to do with them? It seems so disrespectful and makes the environment seem unsupportive and mob like and can become bullying.

Some people want to contribute and get triggered and then they act unsavory. Some people lack empathy. Some just want to be heard. If the posts are censored and no on can comment on other posts unless its a good comment then that wipes out even constructive criticism. I think it would be helpful if people sort of said/ "just venting" or " I just want some one to listen" if they only want an ear. This would help keep people from giving suggestions. Or sometimes I will say "please be kind" to let the reader know that I am extra sensitive. I see what you are saying though.
I'm really disappointed this is permitted on this forum, that people are permitted to complain about another posters' discussions of their abuse experiences that have nothing to do with those complaining.[/QUOTE]
