?? I'm confused.
Surely you didn't PBC this person because she says she hates everyone (she is describing her state of mind), and is obviously overwrought. Later in her post there were some racially based comments that might have called for a PBC, was that what you were referring to, or the frequent use of the f-word later in the post?
I feel very concerned if posters won't be allowed to describe what their feelings are, like if I said "I feel like everybody is cruel to me" it would be my own perceptions of what the world was like at the moment. Which would give others here insight into how I feel, and allow them to respond with support or maybe suggestions for a different world view.
This has me pretty worried, because a lot of us psychos tend to suppress waaaay too much, anyways. I would hate to think we'd have to start suppressing posts about our feelings or states of mind here. Yikes.

No, that's not what I had a problem with.

Both of those, posting something that could lead others to feel put down and using language that could offend others.

I figured that was what Dr. Bob was giving the PBC for. And I thought it was pretty nice of him to do it the way he did. The wording to me appeared to show understanding for the poster and the feelings behind his post, while still clarifying board rules.
I'm a little reluctant to post this, but I really wanted to give Dr. Bob a pat on the back for this one. He deserves a pat on the back now and then I think. ;)

I read his PBC first, which protected me from being exposed to obscenity (I did click on it, but quickly closed it when certain words jumped out- so I didn't read the post). Normally, I would respond to someone with a handle like panic attack, but I'm grateful I was warned first and didn't expose myself to triggering material. So thank you very much, Dr. Bob- judy
