Hi Lou
> Could it, IYO, be [...jumping to a conclusion...]?
If someone decides not to read a post on the basis of the name in the subject line, then they might indeed be jumping to a conclusion. But at the same time they might be making an educated guess, based on previous experience.
I want to emphasise as strongly as possible that a person making the decision not to read a particular person’s posts should be making that decision based on their own personal foibles.
If you are worried that lots of people will stop reading your posts, then I want to reassure you. I don’t think anyone believes your posts should not be read. If someone decides that they can’t handle the emotions they feel when they read the content of your posts, then I hope they will take appropriate measures to ensure they refrain from being uncivil to you. But I have seen many people post in support of you and I took part in your recent thread on Social, as did many other people, and I genuinely believe you are well liked here. I doubt people will stop reading your posts.
Best wishes,
Tamar
