@Former-Member

I wanted to let you know that I understand your reaction...

Kirin it is paramount that you not let these comments affect you...

this is a discussion...opinions are being put forward...

no response on here is better than another...

How you feel needs to be acknowledged though...they are your genuine feelings and you are feeling hurt..

This should not be the case on this forum...

This is exactly what formalising....labelling....categorising does...

You have every right to be here...to speak up and state that you are upset...

Stay and step back if you want to catch your breath...address your emotions....monitor how you are feeling...

Do not please leave though as a result of comments of others...

Your response needs to alert them to the fact that this is an extremely sensitive subject that cannot be resolved by the opinions of a few...
