I feel like I can’t really go into massive details here without resurrecting everything from yesterdays thread.

But posts in the MH thread aren’t places for gossips so I’m afraid you have read that wrong. I was making a post about my own MH problems that day and how this place had affected me/tipped me over the edge. I was left in tears because of our exchange and from feeling like everyone was chipping in to try to catch me out/call me stupid/call me flat out wrong for my own opinion. That’s not healthy debate and it’s completely understandable that I got upset and frustrated by that. Do you not feel I deserve some kind of apology?

Good point.

This isn’t helping at all. I was not slagging you off.

Before this escalates again can you please just accept @meowington s apology above, apologise back and both move on. This is not helping either of you, mentally or otherwise.

And I wasn’t trying to catch you out or call you stupid. What you posted in the thread seemed to me like slagging me off and trying to get other people against me as if I was the big bad bully. I know NOW that it wasn’t your intention, but at the time I posted about you ‘subtweeting’ me as a reaction, just like how you called me a prick and told me to fuck off as a reaction to what you felt I was doing.

People shouldn’t think twice about flagging a thread if they think it’s going to turn into a shitshow, even in cases where the discussion is relatively civil. The personal sleights repeated in the OP aside, whoever made them, nobody was in the wrong, but it was pretty clear where it was going.

I know from experience that those sort of rows, especially the ones that drag on for hours and end up with essentially two groups of people jabbing eachother can ruin your fucking day, man. Life really is too short.

It probably didn’t make for comfortable reading for you, no, and it’s understandable that you probably wanted to address it, but that (and probably the neuro-diverse) threads need to stay safe spaces pretty much no matter what for fairly obvious reasons. Probably best to put that one down to live and learn?

@meowington and @anon80418723 – Please consider using PMs if you want to have a personal discussion in this (feel free to include me/another mod if you want a third party present), as huge open threads are often not the best or most contructive place for that sort of conversation in my experience.

It’s not a safe space for the person who’s being talked about then? Am I not allowed in those threads because someone might be annoyed with me? I should have reported the comment to a mod, but when a mod has already shut you down by closing the thread where you were talking about something, it’s not exactly the first port of call.

You have to understand that you’ve upset me too and tbh I’m now getting a bit annoyed that you’re trying to justify drawing everyones attention to someones post about their mental health and saying that certain things don’t deserve safe space status…That’s not up to you to decide. The whole thread is a safe space that I will fiercely protect.

We can go around in circles or we can move on. I have apologised and I came here to draw a line under this. It’s up to you where you want to go from here. PM me if you’d like.

I absolutely get what you’re saying here about contacting mods. However, we are always making subjective decisions and are very open to feedback if anyone thinks we’ve made a mistake. Please also remember that there are 5 or 6 moderators now, so you can always contact one of us directly if you’re not comfortable messaging @moderators as a group.
