in my time here i have found psych central to be a place of understanding and overwhelming support. Its been a wonderful place to unload burdens , help others and even have some fun.
But occasionally people forget what the point of being here is and thats sad. I completely understand that some who come here face many deamons and may be unwell at the times they are posting. But as a genral rule we need to uphold certain values here , this is a place to be heard and not riddiculed. It is not a place to admonish others for spelling and gramatical errors. It is not a place for meaness or bigotry. it can be a place to have fun, but it is not a place to be flippant about anothers pain. A simple rule; if you cannot say anything nice, dont respond to that persons post. Its fair enough we sometimes need to disagree or to leave a comment that contains a brutal truth but you can still do this with a caring approach. |

While I agree and never post while the "rage" is visiting, I've found every single forum I've ever been on to be the same whether it be a mental, parenting, computer or flower forum. Different people, different ways of dealing.
Respect. |

thanks flooded for the response, i dont want people to think im rousing on them like naughty children, this is as much a reminder to myself as to anyone else. I think its just good to open it up for discussion, especially in a community where many are feeling particularly unwell or fragile at the time they are posting. It takes alot of love and understanding to make a place like psych central work.
(and a big thankyou as always to doc john and our team of moderators!) |

Cyber bulling is being disrespectful towards others and needs to be reported.

((((((((((((((Disguise))))))))))))); thank you for posting this. It is a good reminder.
I feel we should all remember to take the original poster's question, heartache, vent,etc. in mind as we post. So often we do not heed the OP and the need the OP is feeling; we seem to go off topic and into some other discussion entirely. This is not what PsychCentral is about. It is about addressing the OP's original question, giving support, a mere hug will suffice for many, just to know they are not alone. It is about kindness, and real feeling; helping the person posting; and not about alot of things which do not pertain to the original topic at all. All too often we give things that the OP does not want to hear, we must be more sensitive to what the OP is saying, not what we are saying. It's a bit like parenting; you want to tell the person your experience with this or that, and warn them...but they don't want that...you have to let them go their own way; just try to be there for them when they need you. No one knows exactly what another person is feeling; I often think I do; but I am not the other person, how can I presume such a thing? As Flooded said, it's about Respect. Thank you for reminding me.---------------------------------pax--theo Last edited by Anonymous32463; Jul 30, 2011 at 11:24 PM. |

I think there are many forum threads in PC where the expectation is that people will just be loose and have some fun. I don't view those threads as "support" threads; therefore I don't feel threatened or take anything personally when I read what someone has posted.
I have chosen many times not to respond to someone's post because I can't say something supportive. We all have different ways of communicating. I have seen where a responsive post that sounds very benign to me will set someone else off. Each of us is in a different place- just learning, starting to accept, in the middle, making progress, succeeding... I think each of us responds to others depending upon where we are in the spectrum. I would hope that if someone really has an issue with what I post, they will PM me and express their concern.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
