After seeing that someone seemingly went into my account on Linkadge's forum site and changed my password, I proceeded to reset my password and delete my account there. I can't claim to know for sure how my password on Linkadge's forum site was seemingly changed, but it's quite obvious from my perspective whose interests it would be in to keep me from getting into my account there. One thing that I can say for sure is that I've had enough of the bullshit associated with a certain poster on this site. Lou Pilder clearly has the traits of a sociopath, and now I can only wonder if he might be a hacker, too. Whether or not it was Lou who somehow got into my account on Linkadge's site, I've had more than enough of Lou's abusive behavior on this site, and I can only fathom how a psychiatrist who's still in practice can continue operating a site where those of us with mental health conditions can be bullied and manipulated in the way that we are while the psychiatrist in question just sits back without doing a damned thing about it! And to think that it used to be the case that saying anything that could lead someone else to feel accused or put down would result in a warning to "please be civil." I don't know why Dr. Bob isn't moderating this site anymore, but if he seriously thinks that participating in this forum with the way it's been lately is generally good for anyone's mental health, the least that I can say is that I think he's very wrong. This site has become very detrimental to my mental health, and I don't think that I'm the only member here who feels this way. The kind of abusive behavior that takes place on this site is one of the last things that anybody with a mental health condition needs, and I'm not going to take it anymore.
While I am grateful for the fact that most of the experiences that I've had on this site over the last ten-plus years have been positive and especially for the fact that I've met some of the most caring, understanding, and helpful people I've ever come across during the time that I've posted here, I think it's a shame that Dr. Bob's neglect of this site has led to the kinds of interactions that I've been seeing here lately. I'm not going to continue to participate in an online forum that's not moderated, and given what happened with my password on Linkadge's site, I just don't see how participating in any online forum is something that would be healthy for me at this time. It's never easy to leave a place that used to be a consistent source of support like this site was for me for many years, but there's no question in my mind that it's time for me to go.
Wishing all of you the best for the last time,
