If anyone finds an entry with one of my blog links and they click on the link they will be told either - does not exist or cannot be seen type in a password.

This is not a computer error and so forth. Due to the new guidelines that state issues within the community boards cannot be taken to other areas and the fact that I post THE SAME information that is in my blog here on the boards I had no choice but to place my blog on readers access only by password, at least until I locate each of my posts (now (or in the past since I have reposted my blog links various times depending on the topic,) that contain a blog link and uncover those blog entries. Those reading and so on my blog will not be going against this new guideline.

Those that have PREVIOUSLY emailed me at my katherinemanne email address (supporters or not totalling 450 people) should have recieved a list of password codes at their email addresses that they emailed me from so that they may still have access to those blog entries.

If anyone comes across any blog links of mine on the community boards that are password protected and they would like to read them please post to that post and I will repost that blog entry here in the community boards.

or if someone sees a closed without password blog entry on a topic that they would like more information you can pm email or post a question on the boards and I will post that blog entry here. That way the blog entry is protected by the new guidelines and you can have the answers and information that anyone is looking for and would have previously had access to by reading my blog.

I am not doing this to prevent others from reading my blog I am doing this so that my blog meets the new guidelines because many times here in the community boards I refer people to my blog as an answer in part or completely to a question.

Now instead of referring the person to my blog I will be posting WITH OUT the cover of the blog link those blog entries of MINE that are my answers to peoples questions here.

Basically I am going back to the way I used to post where I am posting MY experiences, MY research and MY therapy program like I was BEFORE I started taking my replys to my blog and that includes like before my posting a blog entry with in my replys just like I was doing BEFORE I started placing things within my blog.

as a reminder -

Even though my replys will no longer be under cover of a blog link no one is forcing anyone to read my replys here in the community message boards. So I will be leaving it up to the readers to take care of themselves when reading my posts.



This site has an ignore icon that can be used so that readers do not HAVE to read my posts and I will be continueing to use capitals for my I statements and trigger warnings and discalimers.

Please use the ignore icon when you do not want to see my posts

and please note the trigger and disclaimer warnings so that readers will not be unnessessarily triggered.

again - It is impossible for me to know each and every persons triggers on the world wide web therefore it is up to the readers of my posts to take care of themselves should they CHOOSE to read my posts and threads.

And not everyone is going to agree 100% with MY experiences, MY therapy program, MY research and so on.

It is not my responsibbility to decide for others whether or not they should or can read my posts. if they CHOOSE to or want to read my posts beyond my disclaimers and trigger warnings that is their own resposibility.

and I am NOT responsible for taking care of other people who happen to be triggered by any terminology and so on that I use in discribing MY experiences, MY therapy program and MY research.

therefore I am not responsible should someone CHOOSE to not use the ignore icon and CHOOSE to read beyond my trigger warnings and my disclaimers and CHOOSE to disregard my I statements and end up in a triggered state of mind because they are not like me or are not on the same therapy program that I am on or do not do the same research and so on that I do.

i appreciate all of your efforts to protect us from being triggered.

for me,the concerns were that you were lifting portions of poster's threads and using them in your blogs without our permission. as long as you've quit doing that, i'm fine, pat

[(JD)]

MYSELF I have no idea what is going on IRL but it's evidenced here at PC. We all hope you can settle down soon, as, well, I for one am feeling your frustration with your postings. I would hope that you could step back away from PC for a bit on your own and take a deep breath. Perhaps you really don't realize the turmoil you are causing here, that whatever is going on that you are reacting to really has you upset. Please take care of yourself and try to calm yourself,ok?

Thanks Pat.

Sky - Please stop trying to read things from my real life into my posts the last few days. I am not dissociating and so forth.

In fact things in my real life are actually completely on track.

My medical appointemnt last week proved my cancer was in remission,

my weight is ok, could use loosing about 5 pounds but hey its not an ememrgerncy type thing and not anything that would cause me to post like I normally do.

my blood counts are right where they should be,

relations with my family and friends are trouble free.

I see my therapist every two weeks which is normal when not in crisis.

I am attending my depression management class regularly and this week we had a fun day - a guest speaker came in. who talked to us about her life and how looking for the positives has helped her. nothing in the talk was triggering and or upsetting in any way. In fact I am amazed by her.

AND as a bonus I have become the parent of a 6 week old kitten and watching her is just so much fun.

My recent posts have nothing to do with my having DID
My recent posts have nothing to do with my medical heath
My recent posts have nothing to do with any sort of mental or phyiscal or real time problems.

My recent posts are the same as they were before I had my posts under my blog link. Nothing has changed in the way and the material that I am posting about.

Since you have been trying to read more into my posts since I have stopped placing my posts under my blog links maybe my NORMAL posting style is upsetting you in which case no one is forcing you to read my posts.

As stated above this site has the ignore icon. please use it if you need it so that you will no longer be in turmoil and concerned.

and please stop trying to blame problems in my real life on my NORMAL posting style. Because there are no problems in my real life that are causing me to post this way.

this is how I have always posted from day one here.

The ONLY difference is that my posts are no longer being hidden under my blog links due to the new guidelines put in place so I can no longer reply to posts in my blog.

Please use the ignore icon and stop blaming me and my real time life for the fact that my posts now being visible is upsetting to you.

As already stated - no one is forcing you to read my posts.
