I might speak generally, about behavior going on on SI, but I don't have just one person in mind when I post- and I try really hard to make my posts so general, they could apply to many people, or at least more than one, and I use no names, and I steal no posts. Except perhaps for a few mentions of no to or abouts- but I think it was fair to mention that it appears to have been blown on one side, but not on mine. On top of not using names, and not taking posts, or giving links to posts. I also try very hard to remember the humanity of the people who post on this site. I try to remember they are loving mothers, and fathers, husbands and wives, and often still have parents they care for. When I post generally I try to remember that everyone has their own problems, and some people have much more severe ones than we will ever know, and that we are all deserving of compassion. Please find a post where I was so specific you knew exactly who I was talking about. I think the distinctions of not using names, and not taking posts is extremely important. If you do not, then we will simply have to disagree. I think it is ok to criticize general behavior- for example, creating a thread where you slam people for their thoughts and feelings expressed on SI, in a group, in a mean way, is wrong, imo. I find it utterly and indefensibly wrong. If you don't, again, we disagree. But that's a general point I make, and it isn't "personal". It's like saying driving drunk is wrong. That's not personal either. I'm sure there are people on SI who drive drunk- but it's still ok to have an opinion on the behavior even if some people will take it personally because they do it. You may think it is personal, but that is your mistake (imo). Have a great day.
