I do not know who, if , when, how I may or may not have offended anyone in here yet I am reading a lot and feeling that right now I have to walk on broken glass to say anything to so many that I am thinking I may just not say much for a while. I am going to be turning my PM off should I not come back for a while.

I personally am glad you came to us. Afraid to post to anyone I've spoken with you just a bit, but feel your a wonderful new addition, and I'm glad you're here.

I hope you decide to hang in while we're "working it out". I really do. I understand if you don't. You must take care of you first.

Don't hesitate to PM.

Hey - I don't think this is a good approach. Do you want to talk about specific cases? PM me if you'd like to talk. I've been here for over 3 years and it's the people who DON'T worry about offending people that usually offend people the most. You, as far as I've seen, have been fine.

Let's talk, if you want to, ok?

Yep, take up LMo's offer. She's a great friend and listener. She always knows just what to do to get a giggle out of me when I'm having an exceptionally tough time. Afraid to post to anyone

Pas, I've only seen caring posts from you. You really are a great member to have here.

I am SORRY that you are feeling afraid to post..... and that you feel like leaving - please know that while we are all trying to give SUPPORT that we all have issue and wounds that we are dealing with as well and on any given days those unresolved emotions may become ignited by something someone has said or replied to - HOW THE READER HAS RECEIVED IT (right or wrong) and that in the end we all need to learn to say (or not say) everything that comes out of our mouths without SUPPORT in mind.... even when we disagree.

And this probably what has happened here - feelings / wounds / insecurities have gotten crossed along the path of another's recovery - hence the explosion when the two strong forces collided.

HANG in there with ME.................. together we conquer - separate we fall.
PC is strong as a unit - not as a mere thought or a single need.


LoVe,
Rhapsody - (((( hugs ))))

Yes please tell LMO because this behavior is unacceptable and we should welcome newbies warmly, not harshly like it's a territory thing. I think Mod's need to know about this.

as far as offending people goes...
i think mostly people will tell you if you have done something to offend them. and mostly people are pretty good about realising that it was unintentional. at least... they are once you say 'i'm sorry that you feel offended i didn't mean to offend you'. so long as you didn't mean to offend them of course... but i don't get the impression you are going around trying to offend people ;-)

sometimes there are misunderstandings. typically they are sorted out... sometimes it can take a bit longer... please don't let the odd thing put you off... you get them everywhere online and IRL. gives us good practice with dealing with those kinds of things IMO
