Virtual Emotional Support

[Anonymous]

i'm coming in a bit late on this but want to say that i agree with you phoenix and hugc. some peoples are seeing what you are very well. there is no excuse for portia's attack on sjkravill and some other stuffs too. i'm a member here but am posting anonymos because in spite of what everyone says, there really isn't free speech here for sure. you get marked if you say what you think.

i think hugc and phoenix, you are talking to the same person sometimes with many names here and maybe that is why it is so boggling to mind that there is defence for this portia person and her out of bounds behavior.

i don't know her well enough to know that she hasn't done some helpful and supportive messages so i can't say she hasn't. but what i can say for sure is that she has also put out some very unfair, agression, mean and attack things. some seem like they came from nowheres because her feelings were hurt about something.

you who doesn't see it now i suggest you to watch for it in the future. you will see the real thing.

Unbelievable love. May I gently say that maybe ya shouldn't be commenting with such fervor in that case, sweetie---maybe let the whole thing go now--

I would like to slow down my burners a bit.  I am basing my opinions on my personal experiences with people here - just since I have been active here.  I don't know all the details about what has gone on in months past (I have been joined here since April) so I can't comment on times before that.  I definitely don't want to come across like I am speaking for everyone.  I am just finding my own voice - don't want to take others voices away.

Anyone wanting to look back, go to Search and enter in "guest" or "Guest" . Or search for all posts in that time period. There was quite a flame war at time. It got real ugly. Look at posts around Febuary and March.

I think that is a good idea. Will do - feel like I need to become more aware of what exactly is going on here. Defeinitely feels like more than I know about or have seen myself firsthand.

I know the stability\safety of the board feels important to ya.

 

Very much so but I am waking up to the fact that it's not.  I feel like I'm in a fun house at the crazy mirror?

This may be the best we can do. I'm not keeping silent in the face of abuse when I see it. There were people brutalized this past month who I would have loved to step in for, but couldn't due to problems with my Broadband connection. It has been fixed.Phoenix

Michelle, can you help me with this one? On 22nd of July, Pheonix started her new thread and said she'd been up and running and lurking here for month. I just highlighted it. Can you explain to me what her above comment in supposed to have us believe. That she was ham-strung to go into battle. No, I don't believe that. For obvious reasons. She was here. Think I'll go and do some more reading before she does anymore editing of her posts which I noticed she's doing. The race is on.

Gosh!!  I thought this topic ended a loooong time ago!!  

Well, I don't have the time to engage in any depth as I've got enough on my plate right now in starting a new job tomorrow & have enough stress going on with that (as per new job & voicelessness thread).  

But I think I'd truly be remiss if I didn't at least chime in & stand by you and your courage Phoenix.  I've stayed out of the whole thing the first time around (I had no idea it was continuing in different threads) but for the record, from what I've seen, my true feeling is 100% in agreement with you and others here that have expressed similar.  

I have for a long while, felt at the same level you do, what has been going in regards to the topic at hand.   I haven't had the same courage as you to call it out!

Again, I can't afford to be "in this" at a time I need to focus elsewhere, so this is a "one off" message for now, but I definitely wanted to support your courage.  It's not easy to be the first to really stand up in these circumstances.

I do not want to take this into "who I am" in other areas on the board.  I'd like it to stay right here in this thread.  I'm truly here to support, share, encourage & care about others, and to receive support (as I so gratefully have).  I have utmost respect for the members who see things differently, as well.  

But I just had to go by what I think is right (for me personally only) here, too.  

After all, this board is about expressing oneself, and if done without abuse, blatant disrespecting or brutalizing others (I am not referring to anyone specific right now) should ideally be welcome openly.  

Take care all.

Phoenix Hun--

Yer my hero.  

If ya don't want, ya don't hafta keep engagin', sweet.   Sometimes evil can be pretty drainin'---  and ya 'ain't able to crack through it with any kinda  logic --or even love--

Ya already won by exposin' evil, and w'ere darn proud of ya--  

Evil just gets crazier and more nonsensical--  Dialogue as much ya like hon, yer doin' great.... as long as ya 'ain't feelin' the demon spirit suck---

Ain't worth a single worry, hun.  Though ya seem in finest form!  Just want ya to know it's ok to shut it out cold turkey any time ya want---

Love n' Peace to ya, girl--  Ya rock!

I am feeling pressured to choose sides and just realized that I am allowing myself feel that way.  I don't need to ponder or analyze this situation anymore.  I know how I feel and am satisfied with that.  I am happy in my own skin.  I get alot from the posts on this board and hope that occasionally I am able to contribute some piece of compassion and encouragement to someone else.  

I'm not sure how or why I got into this huge ordeal, I just know that my intentions were true - I was standing up for someone that I feel is a friend and has contributed alot to me and my healing.  I would do the same thing again.  Everyone doesn't have to get along and I need to stop trying to "fix" things for everyone.  

Phoenix, I enjoy your posts and appreciate your honesty regarding your feelings and thoughts.  I look forward to hearing from you in the future.  

Healing Hugs all around,
Michelle

Good onya' Michelle.    I admire what you said, and how you thought it through. Once again, very well said. You are responsible for 'you' here, and your healing. You're not responsible for any-one else here.    And your warmth and sincerity comes through once again.
