poster has not posted any mental health issues, but seems to lurk. IMO that is wrong. Both posters were wrong.

DU privacy and manners is worthwhile.

in this forum. So I don't think it is "private".

of what they are going through, can be taken anywhere on the site? Because I saw it happen earlier this evening and I didn't agree with it. I feel that if there are things posted they should not be discussed beyong this group. Actually, both posters were in the wrong.

Once it is written and posted it is part of the public domain.

be the attraction to such a group. Again, I don't want to be snarky. If I didn't have cancer, I would not go to the cancer group. And I did, out of common courtesy the information would stay there.

the effect on his daughter. He was upset and tried to calm him down by telling him to swaddle his daughter and lightly sing or hum softly to her.It is on the first page of GD

will be used.Yes, once it is on the internet it is public domain, My mistake.

Personally, minus one user, I don't care, but that's me. I doubt anyone is going to use my mental-health discussions against me.

It's a very niche forum

was glad. But I don't want to get involved with free for alls. Like I said I never answer those type of posts, felt sorry for his child.

As a frequent poster, I was allowed in. As for a personal thread being locked, it depends on the thread. If it's the thread I think it is, I've seen nasty personal attacks from that poster.

from the original post, and started to get mean on both sides. I don't want to take the chance that what I shared here will be used here. perhaps the original poster should have posted it here?

Many people post here and even more lurk.

Many people lurk to learn from others, to find out if they're alone, to hear cheering thoughts, to gather their courage to talk, or maybe to realize others feel bad sometimes too. Forcing to people to talk would be the complete opposite of what this forum is about.

The TOS of this forum is clear.

offering suggestions. I have seen other posts from said poster and don't comment unless it it here, Learned my lesson.

That's more appropriate for those types of posts.

I had to block certain people due to being flooded with inapproprate PMs. That's all I'm going to say on that matter.

Even though the person who was harassing me posts here, I'm not going to stop.

Good on ya!

Yuppers

Which is why I had to block him too.

Take my word for it.

line wheen you belittle people as is habit. As were your posts last night to me, You get off making fools of people, but it is you that comes across as the fool.

Between a certain poster.

The only history anyone can look up on DU is what that poster posted. And whatever a DUer chooses to put on their profile.

Always keep in mind anything put up on DU then can be referenced by a search or googled.

MHS was my safe space, and now it's becoming less so. That makes me angry.
