  this site is such a great and valuable resource and simon is to be commended for running it for so long.

  when i first came i was in such a bad state and really needed support and friendship.

  so many posters commented on my threads and showed genuine care some are real life friends, some are facebook friends, some i talk to on the phone and some are forum friends.. i have just realised though that everyone online is not your friend.

  Simon,

  I was feeling hurt, and you as well as others have given me valuable advice about my recovery and how I can improve some of my skills.

  If you want to lock or delete the thread you can in case it gets too heated

  it's amazing how a bad experience can trigger action.

  I see the he has already responded in his typical arrogant upper handed bully style. I have had him pegged since the day I entered the forum. Unfortunately his beliefs have not changed from his KH days you WILL see it his way or else he is going to bully you till you do. - Rebel

  Thank you for acknowledging my feelings and my pain. I responded a little and sent him a PM. I am only hurt because I thought I had a friend. Others who call me ignorant, dishonest, irrational, or lazy don't upset me at all. To be fair Rebel I know you mean well, but let's not turn into bullies ourselves.

  Cofty has just posted he feels slandered, so I will not say anymore on this thread about him. Cofty, I do feel hurt, but I do not want to hurt you. If we stop commenting the thread will die. Let's not get it out of hand and just remain formal in the future.

  Cofty, I wish you happiness and success.

  The major difference is that online communication tends towards extremities due to the lack of normal social mores that are present when you are discussing something with someone offline. - Oroborus

  Yes I totally agree. And if we guard ourselves hopefully we won't get hurt.

  Nugget, yes well he told his dad, so if we have to wait a bit longer because his dad uses spite to put a stop to it, so be it. But I can't see a court of law enforcing it the residence order.

  And with all the challenges and limitations internet communication comes with you did make internet "friends" and you did get internet "support" - probably more than most get on here. - sparrow

  Sorry I missed you in my OP. I do see you as one of my internet friends, you have helped me so much over the years thank you very much

  This thread is all the confirmation I need that I was right to keep my communication with you at a formal distance. - Cofty

  Yes again confirming your bias as always. The thing is I didn't know you were doing that so it hurt deeply when the penny dropped. I felt I lost a good and trusted friend. But formal distance it is cofty. I know now and that's good for me.
  

  Don't judge others too harshly I found that the posters that seemed the harshest in my early months were ultimately the ones that stopped me falling back into old patterns of thinking and made me ask valuable questions. - Nugget

  Jane, to be fair Angus has been the one of the harsh ones, he has been blunt and to the point, compared with your balanced more socially acceptable manner. Simon is also blunt and to the point. So they have really helped me a lot, and Cedars too is very blunt. I don't expect everyone to want to be friends with me, but I sometimes read people wrong and think they want to be my friend when they are actually communicating at a formal distance.

  Excellent response - using your disability (?) to point score on the internet. Well done. - Landy

  Yes I love point scoring. It's one of my favourite hobbies. I got 100 likes and shares for my comment and you got 50 dislikes. So I am the winner.

  I also have other great hobbies too that are almost as fun as point scoring. I go to hopping club on Saturdays and Tuesdays I always use one leg. But some members use two legs which I think is jumping, but it's okay I told the leader and he is making me the hop monitor.

  If you want to know anymore about my great hobbies let me know.

  Most people you meet online are simply acquaintances, if you're lucky a handful will become good friends... as you've found. - tornapart

  Yes indeed I am so lucky and without Simon providing this place it would not have happened. Perhaps one day I could meet you. You have been so supportive whilst struggling with your own battles. I could come to your meeting and be an accomplished pioneer from a different city. No one would know I was out. Then we could go for coffee or lunch. Would be nice. PM me if you're up for it.

  Yes I just realised today this point. And I have real life plans with three of my online friends in the near future. In both theirs an my homes.

  That you do so while maintaining composure suggests you have more emotional intelligence than you give yourself credit. - DJS

  Thanks for saying I debate with composure. I think others would disagree. But glad you think that lol xx
