What is happening? I see some new-to-me names behave like teenage arsonists. And I read the Dr. might pull the plug...?
Hasn't the Dr. left the shop before for unknown and unannounced times? (That is, in fact, my biggest peeve: inconsistent or untimely moderation. That's usually when people get hurt.)
We pretty much know each other, and if not, the majority of us, that I've seen respond kindly (in their own style) to newbies.
Some months back a new poster seemingly 'flamed' on about disability. It turned out to be a very helpful thread. She was angry, then revealed she was also hurt, too.
On the other hand, I cannot attempt to emulate Mother Theresa but I had a
mother, and she would say, if you have nothing good to say ....That said, standing up for one's self with dignity, or for a friend, a passerby....seems right. Don't allow some to destroy by unintentionally adding fuel.
Doesn't psych 101 say arsonists are angry? (And we know that anger comes from hurt.) They may need protection from themselves.
