Ugh. That sounded awful. I'm sorry. I'm all for limiting exposure to being hurt. I guess I just have put a certain distance between myself and the board. I've had some less than positive (I hope that's civil enough) posts directed to me. I only remember one set lately that really hurt, and that was largely because of outside circumstances. There are people from this board who could hurt me a lot, but I have a fair amount of faith in those people and they've proven themselves time and time again.
I shouldn't assume that everyone has been able to achieve that distance. It's a mixed blessing sort of talent I have, and one I wouldn't necessarily wish on anyone else. So everyone should of course do what they need to do to feel safe here.
I didn't mean to sound judgemental. :( Everyone really does have to work from their own comfort areas.
In fact, things are getting so weird around here that the whole atmosphere is rather..... Well my head is spinning, and I keep thinking I really should take that break.
