MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT GROUP: A plea to our regular members

Please please please....do your best to ignore the ignorant sociopaths who mock and harass our members. I will not dignify them with a name or a website. We all know who they are.

Please do not go there and torture yourself. Their "opinions", if you can call utter ignorant vile bigoted horseshit that, are worthless to me and, I would suggest, to you as well. I'm sure they have mocked me mercilessly but I do not care. I'd rather have my affliction than theirs, ANY DAY.

As long as you protect yourself by not posting excessive information, you are safe. They can't get to you in real life, if you're worried about that. I don't see them as being that dangerous, but who knows, one of them might go off half-cocked.

At any rate.... please don't go there. Don't torture yourself. All the best to our regulars. Be well.

on me. i was the DUmmy of the year a few years ago.
they do know who i am in real life, as anyone can see if they go to my sig link. i think my local troll posts there.
but when i go there, i just laugh my ass off.
and as you say, i would rather have all my failings and afflictions than be like them.

generally speaking, tho, yeah, save yourself the aggravation.

... and my true name "hunter" isn't useful for any kind of google search.

"Hunter naked" doesn't turn me up in google image searches, even from the days I was naked and hot. (I know which google search terms might turn up such photos, but I avoid them.)

I first signed onto the internet in 1979. Nothing that's happened in my internet life compares to my horror "real life" middle and high school "Lord of the Flies" experiences."

Ignoring the malevolent watchers is good advice. I ignore them. Let them stew in their own bile.

If they ever show up on my doorstep, I'm confident Spot will eat them. (Spot is a dragon.)
