> Friends,
> It is written here,[...deeply appreciate your eforts..Fallen4MyT...]
> I also am deeply appreciative of F4's attempt to bring up to the forum the aspect of favoritism which could be discrimination or what is also known as {two standards}.
> You see, this being a mental health community has IMO for it to have a greater responsibility to reinforce that the forum's administration have incorporated into it a diligence to administer without distinction of any kind as to what is civil or not civil.
> The effect of being discriminated upon, in particular to one that is participating in a mental health community, has IMO greater consequences not only to the one that is unfavored, but to the one favored also..
> I base this on seeing and experiancing the lash of discrimination and the humiliation that goes with that. I have seen those that use discrimination also have the same effects.
> Last year a man called me on the phone and said that he could not function in his life. He told me that he was a witness and thearfore a party to me being beaten and discriminated upon and called ethnic epithets, but did not speak up about it and asked me why I did not do anything about it. He said that he was afraid that he would lose his job if he did not go along with it.
> For 30 years he had held this inside of him and he said to me that he could no longer endure it. I told him that one can overcome humiliation and debasement.
> He said that he was a believer in a popular religion. He asked me what he could do for me and for himself. I told him that the founder of his religion , in his last words said, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do"
