> Could you ask yourselves why you are not posting in that thread to say as to if you think the statement in question is supportive or not? How long will the members here (redacted by respondent)?
> LouI know you asked this of Scott, but more than once you've referred to your perception of the members' or the community's lack of action. I can only answer for myself. I have not posted my view of whether what the statement in question is supportive or not for the following reasons:
- I am not willing to "police" the supportiveness of every post. I wasn't willing or able to review every post as a deputy, and I sure as heck am not willing to do that as just me.
- I am not comfortable with and try to avoid reinforcing, escalating, or otherwise "feeding" a behavior when I find myself wondering if it is a manifestation of an unhealthy obsession.
- I do not share your assessment of the value of giving that thread any more attention.
And finally, when I feel like I am being coerced, shamed, and/or manipulated, whether I actually am or not, I tend to dig in my heels and become obstinate vs accommodating. Not one of my better traits, but one of them, nevertheless.
I wish you peace and light, Lou.
