I am sad and appalled

This forum is a place where folks from all walks of life, with a variety of strengths and challenges, different backgrounds, habits, needs, etc. come for information, support, friendship, and community, among other reasons. We're not all going to get along. We're not all going to react the same way to the same posts. We're not all going to agree. We're not all going to have the same styles, abilities, behaviors, and/or habits of communicating. We do not all have the same ability and/or desire to adapt to others' requests.

We DO all, however, have one thing absolutely in common. We are ALL, each and everyone here, ALL WORTHY OF RESPECT as fellow human beings, and, I believe, as fellow travelers on this sometimes painful path to wellness.

I respectfully ask EVERYONE who finds themselves wishing to express something that fails to honor the mutual respect of others here to just stop. STOP! There is too much hate, hurt, and intolerance in this world as it is. PLEASE, let's not add to it in a place that is supposed to be haven of sorts.

If you believe that someone is doing a disservice or harm to others by their posting, I encourage you to bring it up privately, either via the notification system or babblemail to administration. If you think that another point of view needs to be expressed, express it. Contribute positively by adding information to the discussion instead of trying to prevent someone else's opposing point of view. We can only change our own behavior.

I am heartsick when I hear about recent suicides resulting from bullying. I believe we all deserve better, and I challenge the members of this community to be better than that.

Thanks for reading,

gg
