((((((((((((( September )))))))))))))))
First of all, I'm sorry you were triggered. It's not a fun thing, I know that hon. Now, when there is no immediate response to you from a mod/admin please do the best thing you can do for you and that is to walk away for a few minutes....get out of the thread/forum.....deep breathe.....and know that 99.99999% of the time it is NOT a life and death emergency

I know it's hard to do that when triggered.......been there done that......as a member, as a mod, as an admin. It happens...but we have to take care of ourselves in order to get through it.
Now, as to being listed on line and not responding immediately goes......one cannot assume that we are immediately available. There are certain duties that we perform that take us away from the main screen and we do not see a pm notification come in. There are times when we are dealing with another situation and we cannot drop what we are doing right away. Yes, we may even have a telephone call or someone might stop in or something else IRL takes our attention away from the computer for any given amount of time. Unfortunately, this is life hon....
