I'm sorry, Sam - I didn't mean that they left because of a thread. It was my clumsy writing yet again.
Oh I know I was unsettled by a title a while back but obvs I didn't leave because I'm still here. Who left? I must have missed it when I was taking a break
You're right, Roy. But I just can't forget, though, an ex-member's anguish over somebody else's thread - even the thread's title tormented them.
In any case, I get on my own nerves sometimes, so I could do with a halt on threads or posts that are either frivolous or too serious (without the benefit of actual knowledge or of wider experience than my own).
I'm absolutely fine, if anyone's concerned with the content of this post...but not everyone is so lucky.
Simon, stop beating yourself up, we often bounce off each other, we find the outside world very hard, this is where we can be just us, we don’t mask and finally can be ‘us’. It is in the safety of our NAS community, it’s the only place that we can talk freely. Chin up and mask! ( my attempt at a joke)
Basically, mate, I've been concerned recently - far too late in the day - about the possibility of threads or posts or replies triggering vulnerable people. I've wanted to post about certain non-controversial subjects that appeared harmless to me but stopped myself beforehand (due to the triggering-possibility, even when - as perhaps in this specific case - it might not trigger anyone).
In short, I'm probably being foolish but would rather be foolish than hurt others.
Oh what's occured Simon?
