If some one posts something here, and they post that they have done something really dangerous, I don't think it helps the person in the long run not to say something to them.In my opinion, there is a way to say that some one has done something dangerous without attacking the person. Sometimes when I have an issue that is really confusing me, I would rather post it on a debate board, because there it seems like the feedback is more real and more honest, even if it is a bit rougher, it forces me to really think things out. Sometimes I feel the support boards are too syrupy and too limiting-and I think that actually does a disservice to certain people. Although they can be very informative, like the boards that deal with specific health issues have a lot of great info.

Delete me if that's what is best for you. I am who I am, no act, no phoniness. That's ok with some, makes no difference to others, and not ok with some, you gotta do what is best for you, including deleting me.

It't not about the counseling, that conversation is over and done with. I really have learned a lot about that subject and it's opened my eyes to a lot of things. It's not about what I like and what I prefer, I was just discussing things for improvement, but since everyone but one person disagrees with that, ok, fine, as long as 99% of people think the board is great and helpful, that's what is important.

I would just like to take a moment to remind everyone on the board that the board does feature an "ignore" option.

I have been quietly following these threads ... & exactly! This is what i was giong to remind everyone of .... I sure wasnt thrilled with some of the iV changes in format back when it happened, but i think the "ignore" button is a perfect remedy to this situation.


I had an issue such as this once, on another SUPPORT board. The Dealing with Alcoholis support board. I went there, 5 years ago, married to a raging dangerous abusive alcoholic ... & i was in complete denial that he really WAS an alcoholic ... b/c he "didnt drink everyday", "He didnt always get drunk when he drank", "he didnt miss work (when he was employed)", etc etc.
