i think some of us become very sensitive at times... well, this is Mental Health Support... some of us may have some personal issues and not act perfect all the time..

ive noticed something which might be an issue for others, i dont know...

the pm box here at PC is for private messages from member to member, member to Admin, etc... it is very functional for a variety of reasons..

but also it is double-edged... pm's are the equivalent of "whispers"...

since many here (including me) suffer from an occasional delusion, may i suggest we use our PM boxes for their intended purposes?

since we have the ability, and, apparantly the right, to misconstrue whatever we choose, i hope others will at least attempt to understand the context of this message...

something that ALL may benefit from should (imo) be placed insdide a public posting so the many involved may have opportunity to benefit...

personal pm's of questionable nature should be considered carefully prior to delivery...

Thank You...

Well, I would hope we aren't running around talking behind each other's backs but should people need to whisper amongst themselves, I'd say go for it. Not everything needs to be a public declaration. If someone here (aside from myself) thinks I'm a self involved half wit with a mad compulsion to post in every single thread and they wish I'd just shut the hell up, and they want to rant about that without going public, I'd say go for it.

If there is a mad conspiracy of emails in which you all are preparing to lynch me because I'm genetically incapable of growing hair, well, that would run so completely counter to what I see in the people who make up this community that I can't believe it happens. Does it? If so, wow that's not very nice and I should really spend less time here. People are so hateful of bald people sometimes.

So there's my counter point to your point. I understand your concern but absolute disclosure of every little personal issue could get, well, a bit ugly.

Misconstrued Intentions?

Anything of questionable nature should be considered carefully prior to delivery! But who gets to decide if it's questionable? One person's questionable is another person's "clear".

Cy... you rock, you know that?

i am referring to a situation where two or more individuals are having a public communication regarding a particular topic..

at some point one of those individuals begins pming another to the party... offering suggestions, hints, and thereby diminishing the integrity of the posting... not all of us have altruistic intentions, heh?

some of us are bent on our own agendas (mirror shining bright) and clouding issues does more harm than good...

a Public forum keeps the playing field even imo... pms influence and others are not aware of those influences... only the individuals involved and at times, those influences are unwelcome imo...

and while im at it, i apologise to everyone for my misconstruing... im nuts, what can i say?

(edited to change "clarity of the the posting" to "integrity" of the posting)

Ah, but you have to have faith in the other party! That they will not be unduly influenced by the mosquito whispering in their ear? No playing field in life is truly even. Each party comes to the playing field with more or less information, life experience, values, ideas, resources, friends, etc.?

If you don't have faith in the other party, don't deal with them!

I have faith in you. I am well and thank you for your best wishes, nowhere.

Admin and mods encourage us all to take personal things to PM. It is also in keeping with guidelines that if one doesn't feel comfortable posting something, it can be discussed privately through PM. Some things only serve to detract from the subject of a post and are better taken up in PM.
