i agree. it's not like we like to ban people anyway. not to mention it's a bitch sometimes b/c half the time the webmaster isn't around and our complaints become outdated
not sure how i feel about a venting section, i've seen it at other forums, and i don't know how i'd feel (much less someone else) if someone instigated something with me on there. i mean, what if the other person doesn't want to fight?

that's true, and completely go along with that outlook, most of the time people get in trouble just by retaliating... but it's best just to let the other person spout off on their own and make themselves look bad
and yeah, i've found through the years that i just don't wanna know some things, especially what people think of me

This is a mental health support site, its main purpose is to offer somewhere people can come and talk about thier problems, offer support and advice, be a shoulder to lean on, why oh why we need a "flame section" for people to spout off and be nasty to each other is beyond me (or people having a go at someone who is so upset they cannot respond), if you fall out with someone on here, cut them off, dont talk, why have some vendetta launched against them in some flame section?
it would just breed hate, its not a case of wrapping anyone up in cotton wool,its more a place like this need stricter rules than most because people can be more sensitive and vulnerable, also the internet gives people a place to be far nastier than they would in real life.
I was involved in the SAUK chatrooms for a while, one guy there and me hated each other, always argued, insulted each other, were nasty. You know what???? we met at a SAUK meet and after that got on like a house on fire!!!!
Its wierd how the internet can twist things

In the last year the posts have vastly increased here, the membership has gone up alot too, not exactly sure why but I remember it when I first joined, it was like 4 posts a day or something, now the webmaster has capped the place coz people are posting so much
new people seem alot more keen to post too, once they realise its not a clique here and anyone can post, yup some posts still dont get replies and people arnt happy but that happens everywhere. Hope people dont take it to heart to much
sometimes I think I'm a thread killer myself.............
