    I understand your point @eylah. I just want this to be taken somewhere else.

    I understand your point @eylah. I just want this to be taken somewhere else.

    well where’s the mods when you need them 🤷🏼‍♀️. bc calling and insulting someone shouldn’t be allowed..
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    @Dancer you turn around, call me a prick, try to justify @BensonE rudeness and nastiness against me for months, then say you have screenshots yet refuse to say how i've been a prick, and because i say your not worth my time, you're calling others in for what? To drag them into something unrelated to them. Shameful.

    ive reported their comments. you shouldn’t be spoken to like that. after everything you’ve done to support others including me. they’re just rude as fuck.

    Because I don`t want to invade other people`s privacy by sharing messages. I actually have respect for people that are worth the respect.

    I must say that I totally hate the sound of closing at nighttime. As many people have said, on a night that is where life isn't as busy so thoughts can increase, you feel more lonely, laying in bed trying to sleep can be hard for many people as it causes thoughts to come up. Also personally day by day my life is getting more and more busy, I am already not on here during the daytime as much as I used to be due to being so busy and then when the times comes for me to have a bit of time to rant it will be closed.

    I have also personally been thinking about leaving here. This community will stop being useful to me or I personally won't have the time in the day to talk through anything so it would be a waste of time trying to come here.

    I also am not going to show any form of ID until I know more about who this first party is for safety and that's if I decide to stay.

    it’s against the guidelines to have screenshots or other ppl here at the mix 🤷🏼‍♀️?

    @Dancer now you just need morality and decency as a person, rather than starting to insult people randomly. And once again, thank you for confirming you've taken "screenshots". of what, i have no clue.

    It doesn`t mean I physically have screenshots but I have had messages from members about how they feel about certain members.

    By turning this into a heated discussion and i am not naming names, you risk this type of discussion being shut down entirely which is not what we need and would not benefit anyone.

    We all need to see both sides of an argument and people don’t always agree, but rudeness is not ok from anyone. For gods sake we are adults

    And there is nowhere else to take this discussion since however heated it still falls under the thread topic.

    I agree completely, I tend to find myself getting pretty agitated late at night so I'm pretty pissed that I can't get any kind of support from here during that time. I also can't exactly blame you for leaving, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone is considering it and getting support elsewhere.

    @Dancer oh, so you have screenshots, but now you say you don't have screenshots. You must show me how to do u-turns like that.

    Thank you everyone for sharing your feelings about this, and we take what you're saying seriously. As Verity mentioned, we're working as a team already to get answers to you. I appreciate some of these updates are feeling really, really hard, and we're grateful for just how much you care about this space.

    You four are actually starting to do my ****head in and that's really saying something because I quite like some of you. Take this somewhere else and like @independent_ this thread very well could be shut down if you don't shut the **** up and take this elsewhere.

    I have asked polity twice and not one you listened. I am sorry for being rude but I am asking you to take this elsewhere.

    I came onto this thread, answered a question with an extract from the online safety act, was treated rudely, eylah called it out, and then both Benny and Dancer decided to start insulting me first, calling me a *****, because of my stance on the online safety act. I've been flagging for months the long trend of rudeness from benny, to the mix staff, and this just seems to be a continuation of it all.

    I did not take this thread of topic, but if people want to speak to me like **** instead of discussing, then by god, i will defend myself and call them out for it.

    I'm sorry, but just imagine facts offending a person so much that they react this way.

    @so_very_tired don't swear at @eylah at all or insult her. She's done nothing wrong and is trying to stick up for me against people being bullies.

    If mods wish us to move somewhere else they will tell us that I’m sure. Swearing aimed at someone has never been allowed here. Swear at the situation, not the person.

    Goes for insults and personal attacks as well. There’s a human behind every screen. Some of those humans are having a really hard time. We don’t need to insult or swear at each other.
