I have no friends.

Hi @Former-Member

I'm hoping this is a technical error.

I just replied to your post, very carefully.

I submitted the post, I then checked the forum to make sure the post was there and it was.

A few minutes later the post was gone.

It's not in my drafts, I haven't received an email.

It is very, very hightly unlikely that this post could be reasonably perceived to breach the forum

guidelines.

I'm trying really, really hard to work this out with you guys in good faith. Can we please get passed this so we can get on with the business of supporting each other together?

Hi @Fredd50

Thanks for your response and sharing your thoughts and feelings. Like we said online communication has it's nuances so there can be unintentional hurt feelings which we realy hear. We really appreciate your instincts towards problem solving together and we are sending you an email shortly to check in futher.

Appreciate your patience and understanding!

Thanks @Former-Member

Hi @Fredd50 - sorry for any confusion. When you scroll up you will see your post is there now and my response to it 👍🏼 There was no breach - just a delay in it being live and we apologise for this inconvenience.

@Former-Member

Thanks, in that case I will let things sit here and we can discuss behind the scenes.

As someone with severe trauma from institutional abuse, and who has had ongoing issues with forum staff we are still trying to resolve. I do need to find out how a delay in going live presented to my browser as an acceptance and subsequent disappearance of the post and sort out the computer system so this doesn't happen again to me or anyone.

Hopefully we can allow this topic to go back to where it needs to go now and sort this issue out for everyone's benefit.

Hi @Fredd50, we sincerely apologise for any offence or pain caused by the post, it wasn't intended as we were attempting to come from a place of support and understanding. @Former-Member

@BryanaCamp I tried meet up again and actually found some friends. I've also met a few people through salsa dancing. I have a lot of people through Facebook because of my dance classes and going to meet up. This is good news however they all live in the city and it takes a long time for me to get to the city. I need friends that are local. I have found a job that is local and made friends through there. I guess I need to persist and keep trying. It takes work but it's worth it. I hope this is good news. Thanks for your replies.
