Hey sweet Dana,
The past two (or so) days that this has been going on, has drained me, and also triggered me. It reminded me of when my parents were fighting - one would be in the livingroom with the tv and the other would be in the rec room with the stereo. If one turned up the volume, the other would turn up the volume etc. etc. etc. until things were blaring in the house. Now, I had school in the morning and this often happened at night. Things would escalate until my parents were yelling at each other (over the volume of the tv and stereo) and then objects would start being thrown. I thought my head would surely bust.
I was so dismayed that Simon and Angahard had to arrive home to THIS - happening in their cyber home. I was disgusted that common sense was an abstract thing to some - they needed exact rules, which is censorship, which they didn't want. Circular arguments. I spent a couple times trying to reason with some. Check my thread 'Remember...'. It didn't get many responses but I hope it slapped a few people upside the head - figuratively speaking.
No one will ever make me leave this place. I'm in a bad space today because of the fighting (but I could've left - I just didn't want people to get hurt so I stuck around). Just like I did as a kid. I made sure mom wasn't killed. This place is home to me. It's done so much good and the majority of people here are fantastic spirits. Dana - please don't let anyone push you away. It gives them too much power and they are already experiencing delusions of adequacy.
Give my thread a look-see cos I bring up all the good stuff. Things have settled down now.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((Dana)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) This place needs people like you.
