To The People Complaining About Chat

[Deleted member 30036]

Lets start with a link https://www.myptsd.com/threads/the-chatroom-is-pretty-cliquey-selective-what-gives.64024/ for starters i've been guilty of popping into chat saying hi and disappearing its called losing connection or having real life things going on its comments like "But someone pointed out people who frequent chat seem to ruminate on their problems. People who post actually do something to improve their lives." What gives you the right to judge how people deal with there trauma if you have problems with people tell them dont make childish posts.

I was really upset by that thread and I use chat a lot. I use chat as a distraction from my life and also sometimes to vent or talk through a problem. I don't deliberately exclude anyone but sometimes I drop offline for a bit or I just can't keep up with all the people on chat. Really whoever posted the anonymous thread has behaved most unfairly towards those of us who use chat.

I agree that's why I signed my name when I posted in that thread... it was getting out of hand.

When someone is overly critical of another person, I try to remember it really says more about the person being overly critical than the person being criticized.

...I really fit that remark, and it's my fault, nobody else's.
Whoever said that was correct in my case.

I mostly don't see the need to trash talk one modality of communication or the other.

Hello? We're talking together. We're all working on things.

It's called preferences & style & often other factors at play. Nothing wrong with any of that, to each their own.

Not only was the post unfair it was also cowardly and honestly disappointing this forum is supposed to be here to support sufferers and supporters of people with ptsd not to belittle a group of people because someone missed there name in chat.

Added to:

I don't believe we need divisive nonsense over ways we let the steam out, be it dropping in chat or venting it on the forums.

Common deal to focus on, being PTSD.
Stressful & guilt tripping pettiness best left at the door.

Hi guys, I'm very aware this is a continuation of a previous discussion which was locked by @joeylittle. Given the chat function is a very small part of the site and theres been a fairly substantial discussion which only closed yesterday, which had the potential for generating more heat than light, I'm going to lock this thread - I can't see this discussion being more constructive than what has gone before.
