I have had those thoughts before. I bet a lot of us have. I truly don't think this place is a social experiment on VLG Very Large Groups; but there are unmistakable dynamics when you have so many people together in a forum llike this.
For instance, I often feel that when I'm feeling "picked on", it hasn't been the poster's intention at all. At the same time, whenever I have felt vulnerable and senssitive, there is so much support instantly that I often cry in surprise and gratitude.
I think there are posters here who group together out of mutual interests, and that is a natural response. I think that since my self esteem is very low that I see currents and undercurrents that aren't there.
Take care, and it's nice to meet you!
