Oh, this one.
I think that the fact that people have commented that they find it uncomfortable is the reason.
When someone says that they are unhappy with the content, and when lots of people then agree and to continue to post this type of content after a discussion had been had and to not take any heed of what was said. This is selfish. You are thinking of yourself and not the collective voice and opinion that had been raised, discussed and then a (mod approved) conclusion being reached. To carry on regardless and do your own things is selfish.
But I haven't?
MoK or whatever the hell his name is said it more eloquently than me. I'm tired
and the question has been answered. In the appropriate thread, or start a new thread in H&WB with an appropriate title or a warning in the title.
easy peasy.
I fail to see whats scary or mean about that.
I wasn't aiming it at you. I was aiming it at the collective 'you'. If *one* carries on regardless of the collective opinion ...
Surely, that works both ways? IMO, it's a bit harsh to basically jump on others for posting in the wrong place.
Adios.
Common courtesy goes a long way.
And yes, I do expect others to do it. Pussy footing around depression isn't the answer.
Not when it is continually in the wrong place and these people have been asked to start posting in the right place. They are just ignoring the collective over and over and it is darn right rude.
EDIT: Wow, I think I have posted more in the last 2 hours than I have in the last 2 weeks!
I don't think that has happened, has it?
A request has been made and it seems like most people have understood and accepted that.
You can still get help in the appropriate threads. I don't get what the issue is.
Then you should tell them that they are welcome to post about their issues in the health ssections, and warn them to stay away from anything goes if light-hearted threads are beyond them just now.
Well, exactly. There is no issue IMHO.
Do you honestly expect everyone to read every single thread? No-one has mentioned in the rant thread that said posts are triggering. I wonder if anyone has bothered to politely PM the person / people concerned and asked them to stop it and perhaps post elsewhere on here.
People should be able to post where they want, imo.
*sigh*
It's been done to death! I don't really see what the issue is here. We are going round and round in circles. Post in the correct place and we all get along ok.
Anyway, as mist has just told me, he has said his piece so we can all stop this silly discussion.
Ok, I'll start a thread about my mobile phone in the food forum :thumb:
even though it has the potential to upset alot of people??
sheeesh, im betting that mental health and wellbeing forum that was mentioned awhile ago is looking a better idea now.
Well, you can't please everyone can you.
i will also post in the food forum, about whether i have thrush or not.
I don't see what's so mean about politely reminding people to keep stuff in the appropriate places. Thats why we have different areas for different things. Just common courtesy.
no , but youcan be respectful to people's feelings.
I, for one, was kind of ashamed of myself when I realised that some of what I had posted in the ranty thread may have triggered other people. I was glad that Scary posted the thread that she did because it made me more aware of my actions and that a thread of a similar vein was needed in Health and Wellbeing.
It is not fair to expect other people who are not comfortable with reading posts about self harm to come across them in forums where they are not expected to be. It is not fair that some people are ignoring the polite and not unreasonable requests of the community to keep those posts in the places where they ARE expected.
I never get my rages on
Such lies.
They do say it looks like cottage cheese, don't they? :d
