Ptsd Bullies From Other Forums (lessons Learned)

Facebook has positives, it has negatives. This forum has positives, it has negatives.

This to me seems more an issue of badly communicated boundaries than deliberately attempts to emotionally abuse, though?

Let's also keep in mind that a) survivors tend to be more sensitive to certain things, because we're survivors, b) internet never conveys all the aspects normally giving clue-ins about intent, c) not all people have the same communication style, or abilities, or were raised with the same linguistic & cultural background. What may seem completely rude to someone in one culture is completely polite and boundaries respecting behavior in another culture.

Erm......being a survivor of abuse until I was 42, I can understand what you're saying but they're behavior had nothing to do with cultural background and such. That statement made there is out of the picture. I would NEVER give anyone emotional abuse after what they've been through and I was only trying to help. It seemed like a manners issue to me and I'm just going to leave it at that.
