Banter I don't like...

Yeah I get that it's not all bad. But praise shouldn't be anonymous in my opinion and no one should have to feel like an outsider or a burden by reading stuff that may or may not be about them.

I get this and the other points you've made, but I did appreciate having a place to get something off my chest anonymously today (in a gentle way, I hoped) and I think others do as well.
 
Thread: I don't like when I put some effort into wording a post in the way I want, and when I go to post it the site stalls and I have to wonder if I'm gonna need to type it all again

That's a fair point but I think it's a shitty thing to do and just bullying. If you have issues with someone talk to a friend in private.
Everyone bangs on about mental health and then rags on one another it's not helpful and not nice.

Honestly gonna have to agree to disagree about this one. It seems like most of the negative posts on that thread (not mine necessarily) were directed at someone who was bullying or stalkers or whatnot, and I think that kind of thing does need to be called out. I definitely don't consider my post bullying, just expressing some feelings I've been struggling with about someone's posts directed at me (and ftr I have talked to a friend in private about it). I don't think that's a shitty thing to do.

But to each their own

I don't want to be starting fights and slinging labels like bullies at people I apologise for that.

Just a little background on where I'm coming from I myself am a suicide survivor and have since volunteered on helplines and I've seen first hand the effects words can have especially on a mind that's at war with itself. No one should have to see that and put up it with it. Or even worse mistake it for themselves and spiral worse.

As for calling out bullying why do that anonymously do it publicly or better yet inform a mod and have it dealt with

I'm very sorry about this and appreciate that perspective. To me, the negative posts seem pretty clearly directed at creeps but I acknowledge that everyone sees things differently based on their own experience

This, though, is not always that easy

Thank you for being mature, I did not expect this to turn into a debate lol.
I'll just keep my nose out of there and hopefully others inclined to my thinking will as well.
