I see the risk of feeling fury and rage that anyone would violate my wishes with regard to my post.
If people respect my posts or me as a person, they ought to respect me enough to respect my wishes about the distribution of my thoughts and feelings. If they wish me to receive support, they could support me by respecting my wishes. If they wish me to receive education, they can suggest that *I* put my story out there. Are you seriously suggesting that people should tweet the posts of others to obtain for them support and education from places other than Babble?
I'm leaving, as I already said on Social.
I'm sorry I'm leaving under these circumstances. Please please don't tell me I need to do what is best for me. Please don't tell me that you appreciate what I've brought to Babble. If you appreciated it, you wouldn't have driven me away. Given the number of people on the no tweet list, you had to have considered a certain number of posters an acceptable loss. I do not feel valued or appreciated as an acceptable loss.
I had appreciated your providing this place for me to learn and grow. But unfortunately, all my posts here are now just a potential source of humiliation and shame.
I'm really sorry it ended this way.
