Leaving site
 

I regret to say that I no longer feel comfortable posting on this forum, as another member has sent me insulting and demeaning emails. I am very thankful to the rest of you for sharing so much helpful and personal information. I wish you all the best in your recovery. I may check the site anonymously without signing in, but I will not write any more posts after this one.

I can understand the impulse, but why not just keep posting and ignore the emails (and ask a moderator to deal with the issue)?

Hi xanadu,
 

I myself have never heard an unkind remark from this site. I am sorry if someone hurt your feelings. Please tell the moderators what happened. Nobody is suppose to be unkind to any of us. I will still keep you in my prayers even if you do not come back here. If there is an unkind person, eventually we will find out and correct the situation. There is no room in this site for meanness. I hope you have a good valentines day. ginnie

Good point, greenfrog. I still want to at least take some time off...perhaps I'll return soon if I feel better about the situation. There are so many great people on here.

Xanadu, I hope you reconsider.

Just so you know, I really enjoy the music you put up and
we have a similar collection in our home.

I've been enjoying some of Karunesh's music lately, as well.
Our cats even like this type of restful music! ;)

"Ignore", feature;.......................................... .........................
 

Do you know, we can put people on "ignore" here???

Phyllis :hug:

Yeah, what she said!!! ^^^^

Indeed, I would encourage any member who is having a difficult time with another member to use the self-care tools we have available to ensure they are taking care of their own needs. In this case, we have an "Ignore" list function that allows you to put another member on ignore, so you can't interact with them, get PMs, etc.

We can't mediate interpersonal disputes, because of our limited volunteer resources here to help keep our community safe and running. We also encourage members to not share personal information with other members privately unless they are absolutely certain of the other member's intentions.

Thanks and take care,
DocJohn

I am sorry that you feel you need to leave the site. Please reconsider, try putting them on ignore status.:(

Yeah, bro. I don't think you should leave. Just put them on ignore and forget about them.

Don't let one person ruin your experience here at NeuroTalk.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words and encouragement. I put the person on "ignore." The whole situation has just made me much more self-conscious about what I post here, after the very unpleasant exchange with this person. I'll get over it.

Aside from that experience, this is a truly wonderful site, and I am very appreciative of you all for your advice and support. I also appreciate your willingness to share your personal experiences, which in many cases involve sensitive and private details that many people are afraid to confront.

I'll stick around and hopefully get used to posting regularly again.

Please, use that feature, whenever,........................................
 

anyone, gives you a hard time! You shouldn't allow them to cause
you to leave!!! :mad:

Phyllis :hug:

I'm glad you decided to stay. Welcome back!!!

Just my opinion.
 

I know where you're coming from. This is the first time I've logged on in weeks. Same reason. I've been confused about how a "know-it-all" with a self-inflated ego seems to carry so much validity here. I've gotten a few condesending emails also. No name was even necessary to be mentioned.

I'm sure I'm not the only member that has backed-off the forum because of this.

Can we let this thread end? It is not conducive to a strong community. It is also inappropriate to blame others without offering the full details and opposing views. If someone has a beef, take it private with PM's or report it to the moderators.

We have at least two new posters the past few days. They deserve our support.
