Please keep responses supportive

"This is, first and foremost, a self-help support community. That means if your message (post or PM) isn't about offering support to another person or asking for it, it's potentially not appropriate for our community."

Sometimes we don't like people here. That's OK. Sometimes we get angry with another's actions here. That's OK. There are appropriate ways in which to work those types of situations...contact a mod/admin, place them on ignore, take a break for a couple of days, etc.

An inappropriate reaction in this community to deal with the above would be to post to another members thread just to get in a "jibe" or a biting remark. This is referred to as flaming.

If you flame another, it reflects only upon you (while interrupting the experience of potentially many more than just the member(s) for which your remarks are intended)...with the membership as well as with the mod/admin working the situation. Continued flaming, biting remarks could see a suspension of accounts.

If another acts inappropriately toward you or another member here, instead of responding (which carries the situation out further), contact a mod/admin.

We're a support community. If your response to another isn't offering support, move away from it, click that "red x" walk away from the computer, etc.

Members are responsible for their own actions, including those where they act out by not using the tools we have here, or heeding the guidelines in place for this community.

Please, everyone, concentrate on the MUCH good, healing and help that is found here in its various forms...giving away little energy to that which might be displeasing to us by moving away from it.

Thank you Kimmy.

thank you VERY much, KD. much appreciated........pat

I do want to say that this isn't about any particular thread or situation, but more about how I see, time and again, flaming or unsupportive posting when it's really just not necessary.

We don't have to post to every thread...only those we feel a kinship or positive attraction to do so.

There is lessons in everything and with every lesson, we learn.
