Hi Mountaindewed. I think you've written this same kind of post at least four or five times in the past. [My memory is good.] Most all of us fully know you are willing to scold us. More than once a regular member wrote that such things could be sent via PM. Even your selective praise of members (at the expense of others) could be, too.

Support is a two-way street, especially between adults. I do read some of your posts and give you hugs. Some, I'd rather not give hugs to. You post multiple times per day, sometimes. We are not always all able to handle such frequency. I will say I've appreciated your trigger warnings, because I am HIGHLY triggered by some of your posts. That's my issue and one I won't struggle to overcome. I have my reasons.

If I look back, I recall very very few supportive posts from you. At least not to my posts. Again, a two-way street. In fact, many of the posts of yours to me have mostly only been responses to my posts to you. [Again, good memory.]

I could have sent the above to you by PM, of course. However, the lack of responses are likely because of exasperation and I know I'm speaking for some other members. I've actually tried harder to support you than many others here. I'm writing this in hopes it will help you. A kind post. If you don't see that, then I have nothing more to say on this topic. Yes, relationships are difficult, sometimes. Having mental health issues (and/or other challenges) can make it harder yet. You have some that most of us here don't fully understand. Many have some you don't understand.

A method to lure back people? More honey and less vinegar.
