A message to the board

[username2013]

I don't think this place has anything to offer me any more.

I'm tired of the few that repeatedly invalidate, insult and attack others. This in a support site for those afflicted with mental illness. The mods are far less active in the boards, and this kind of behavior is more and more going unnoticed and not being reigned in.

I don't feel safe or comfortable posting any more in the boards. Although I've been attacked too on occasion, I'm tired of seeing others getting attacked as well.

So if the mods can't perform their duties and make this a more safe, comfortable, supportive environment that it was originally intended for, then I'll just stay out of the boards then.

If the staff can't devote the time necessary and be more diligent in performing their moderator duties, then why are they mods here in the first place? Many have already left. I see some that don't log in for days at a time.

This place has become more hostile and more of a place for circle jerks and those few that repeatedly put others down, invalidate them, insult or even attack them, and they are continued to be allowed to act this way.

So fine. I'm staying out of the boards. I'm tired of it. I don't feel safe or comfortable here any more.

I stand by my statement and I don't care what anyone else thinks. I see what I see and others have agreed with me as well in private.

And this is the venting forum, so why shouldn't I be allowed to vent these feelings here?
