Thanks for your concern. It's been hard to avoid a siege mentality here recently.

What I believe is more difficult is to look for ways to communicate where we build
trust and openness, where we can un-mask ourselves and truly feel free.


I couldn't agree more. There is no single cause to anything, but what you describe as "recent negative posts toward you" often seem to be an unwillingness to allow people to truly feel free to post their feelings. The invitation in the opening message of this thread, "drop by and consider this a safe place to let it all hang out, and rest assured no one will flame you," hasn't been much in evidence recently.

Nor have soft answers seemed much use at turning away wrath.
