What do people think about not reading posts of certain people that are upsetting? I saw the subject line of one thread, "false memory syndrome" and knew immediately that I could never read that thread and especially not a certain person's comments. It seems someone here or a few people like to antagonize others but if we just ignore that person, and never read the posts that he/she writes and for sure not respond, that person would eventually just go away. (that's my guess based on people who are wanting attention and wanting to provoke/antagonize, which seems to be this person's case). I personally don't think we owe anyone like that the effort of trying to be kind. I haven't been on this listserv very long, but for me, I'd rather protect myself from someone like than try to engage with him/her and see if I can get thru to him with love or kindness. I've done that so many times in my life and have ended up banging my head against the wall.
What do people think about the idea of not reading/responding/totally ignoring certain people's posts? It's such a shame for the safe people to leave and the unsafe people to stay.
