For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

Thanks ALL
To pretend something is not happening creates uncertainty, illusions and possible establishment of delusions in the poor vulnerable marginalised few.

I really hope you are okay @Appleblossom . There are things going on here that I dont understand. So I chose to stay in the background these last couple of days. But at the end of the day, two people I admire and like are being hurt here. @Appleblossom @Former-Member . And there are now others who are getting hurt along the way, especially @Shaz51 . This is now affecting everyone, and I feel sick with concern for each of the main players. I dont know now where I can post or where I can even select the support button, without offending someone. @Former-Member Maybe I should just fade into oblivion until things settle down? I am not good with conflict. 😳
I want you all to know I care for each of you, and dont want to see any of you hurting, as you all plainly are. @Appleblossom @Former-Member @Shaz51 There are no winners in this.

@Former-Member Hi there. Thank you for posting so clearly your concerns about community members. The nuances of on-line communications where often vital cues are missing can sometimes make misunderstandings and conflicts occur more readily. I am so sorry you feel sick with concern and if you or anyone has become distressed please take care and seek support. You are also very welcome to directly contact the SANE forum team for support. And please feel free to step back from the forum if that is the best way of looking after yourself. I am not sure that everyone on the forum if affected or hurting as you suggest but the concern you express for members is much appreciated,
take care
