> Hello, everyone,

> I'm brand new to this board, and I'm highly offended that others have been discussing topics longer than I have and have formed opinions about issues and interactions, and developed on-line friendships that don't include me.
>
> Furthermore, I read a few postings out of context, and I'm deeply insulted and offended by the extreme rudeness of those who express their opinions about any issue to which I'm overly sensitive; however, if asked about it, I will not define my values or explain what I found offensive, because you already should know what I think is right and wrong.
>
> Although I've only been here eleven minutes, I think a new board should be created to insulate me from people who have a sense of humor. Such humor is inappropriate around those of us who experience REAL depression and other difficulties. But what would you care?
>
> I'm such a kind, caring, intelligent person while you all are members of cliques and don't really care about the feelings and sensiblities of others. I'm qualified to associate you by comparison with anyone I want to, but your attempts to psychoanalyze me are completely out of line. You hardly know me!
>
> I AM taking responsibility for my feelings, all of them, except when you offend me or degrade others or otherwise upset me, even when I'm not familiar with what you're talking about.
>
> Well, I don't see any reason why I should stay, since obviously no one here cares about anyone who hasn't already been a member of the inner circle for many months. This is disappointing, because I'm sure I had SO MUCH to offer.
>
> I won't tell you my real name, because my privacy is very important to me, and I would not want to have to be accountable for what I wrote. Good-bye forever! I hope you are very happy that you have torn down the hopes of a caring, intelligent person with your hurtful attacks and critical, cliqueish remarks!
