I guess (and I am only speaking for myself) that she is afraid that I will be triggered here. (hopefully trigger isn't a term that confuses you). My past childhood experiences leave me open to being triggered by hostility, controversy, obscenity- many things that unfortunately have become much more common here in the last few months. I'm pretty sure I even made a comment about that back in March- how I felt the board had become a negative place. My life in general is pretty 'safe', I am surrounded by people who love me and I take measures to insulate myself in certain ways. (For example, there is a trial in So. California right now that I won't read or watch TV news about). I do have another recourse, there are boards on about.com that are strictly monitored at all times for victims of child abuse, who because of age actually have their brains wired differently (for example I have a small hippocampus) and are more prone to being triggered. Sorry, this is more detail then you could possibly want, I guess I'm saying that I used to feel safe here but no longer do. Take care, judy
