In psychobabble psych there's a post from Ace "Why I reject therapy".
This feels to me like muckraking; a revelation for the purpose of provoking a response.
I won't read Ace's posts again. THe two I have read feel very unkind.

Hi ShortE.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to please not post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down.
It's hard to get the hang of the "I statements". There are some tips in the FAQ.
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
But in general, something like "I felt hurt. Or I felt angry" would be ok, because it describes something about what you feel, while using the word "I feel" while describing something about the post or poster doesn't turn a statement into an "I statement".
Also, according to the new Babble rules, Dr. Bob requests that you use the notification button at the bottom of the screen where you read a post rather than report a post on Admin.
Follow-ups regarding these issues, as well as replies to the above posts, should of course themselves be civil.
Dr. Bob is always free to override deputy decisions. His email is on the bottom of each page. Please feel free to email him if you believe this decision was made in error.
Dinah, acting as deputy for Dr. Bob

I'll just sit here and cry for a while, if that's ok,

Sure it is. Can I join you? I sort of feel like a good cry too.
I know you tried, and I know how hard I statements are.
And certainly you know it doesn't mean I don't like you very much indeed, and you know that I do think you're a wonderful person.
I've got an extra blankie and tons of pillows. Would you like to share?
This is the end of the thread.
