I'm sorry if my comment hurt you. I was being goofy and didn't mean to be cruel. I still would appreciate an apology. Or, muffled mentioned a change in wording, would you be willing to rephrase your earlier post instead?

> a lot of us are damaged, hurting, broken people when we get here. We feel extremely vulnerable and sensitive. We are looking for support, love and friendship, acceptance, at a time when we are at our worst. ... maybe they should ask us if we'd like to chat. If I was a deputy thats what I would do.

Acceptance by the "family"?I'm sorry the role of the deputies wasn't more clear. Their main function in that role is to try to maintain an atmosphere of civility. Posters are the primary source of support and education. They're the "family" to look to for acceptance.
I'm also sorry I wasn't more responsive myself to your emails. My role is administrative, too. And I don't have as much time for it as I'd like.

Maybe we can hear each other. People who, like me, don't feel safe sharing here. I will stay in touch with these caring people.

OK, the ball's in their court. If anyone else wants to add another two cents, this might be a good time.
