My point isn't to say who is right and wrong, but clearly, others were hurt by the posts of someone who is not sanctioned, but instead ignored and allowed to continue to say hurtful things to tohers, while someone who points out others are hurt is sanctioned.
Verloren felt belitted by the comment-other people had similar reactions to previous posts-it is not just me who is seeing it that way, Dinah. In fact, Emily never said anything that hurt me personally. I pointed out how OTHERS (not me) have been upset by this and nothing was done about it-which triggered me knowing some are allowed to say things that are hurtful to others in a covert manner and at the same time, sanctioning me for pointing this out in a direct manner, creating an unsafe environment.
Clearly, someone else was hurt and it was not addressed and she left:
"I don't like feeling belittled on a site where I mistakenly thought the community would offer insight and support...It does sound like you are criticizing me especially when you start a post defending yourself from being critical. Therefore I'll choose not to subject myself to any more criticism from you by reading any more of your messages to me." - Verloren
