I see many of took offense at my queery. OOPS, did I use the "Q" word?..... Oh well....
Well for those of you that missed the point I was trying to make, let me explain.
Far too often in "A Place Of Safety" posts, in an apparent effort to be cloaked in a vale of secrecy become obscure.
It is this obscurity that causes confusion and sometimes stress on the part of posters and readers alike.
There was some mention to my wording, that it was painful to some individuals. My bluntness was deliberately attuned to emphasize the fact that what one says can have an impact even if not intended.
At one point an appology was demanded... and assumed it had been forthcoming... here again I will not appologize.
At the risk of being blunt once more, if you are speaking privately, don't scream it out and expect the rest of the world to ignore you. Conversly, candor is best excersized in an email. And finally, If you need or want help, please say so, plainly and simply, if the plea is masked so can the intent and with it the meaning.
For your hurt feelings I am sorry, but not for my words.
I hope you understand what it is I am saying here as it is with the best of intentions.

Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

I think the original post was a well chosen topic expressed in a way that, with hindsight, hurt.
I believe there are manylessons to be learned her. Not least of which is seeing the EYES of the poster to determine meaning

... the shy, the reticent, the hitherto silent lurkers on this board who might just have plucked up the courage to post something important, but who now will not do so lest they be accused of "talking around the issues" or "ultraverbosity".
Posting something here for the first time does take courage. Why erect barriers?
