Elle,
Please don't worry. First off, I can honestly tell you I don't believe it was any one post or one person's post in particular that got me thinking. Secondly, I'm a big girl and I don't (and didn't) have to read anyone's posts about SI.
I'm worried more about others that might be particularly vulnerable. They would probably not be the ones who would want to admit being affected or influenced by others' posts so I thought I could add that perspective without having had a terrible result that might trigger guilt in anyone else. I did not want anyone to feel guilty, so I apologize for making you or anyone else feel that way.
As far as my position on the separate SI board, sorry if I wasn't clear. I tend to waffle quite a bit :(, but I really believe it would be a good idea. As I said before, I think it would have kept me from reading in the first place. I also believe that those who SI could use the "safe" place to go for support. I can imagine for some of you it gets worrisome posting on a more general board like Psych with those that might not understand as well.
That said, (here comes the waffling), I realize it could create more administrative issues for Dr. Bob and he may not want to have to enforce yet another set of rules. So, my final suggestion was, if there will be no SI board, post occasional reminders to posters about including warnings in the subject headers when a post contains discussion about SI.
Again, Elle, there's no need for you to be sorry. I'm sorry for making you feel guilty. You're always a sweetheart and I appreciate that!
