Quote from: ilikepotatoes on August 11, 2009, 03:07:26 AMI don't understand banning a person for telling us about something she did in the real world. I also don't think she was bragging about calling her friend a fake or pushing that person towards suicide in that thread.
I do not suppose to put words in Susan's mouth.
This is the position I would take if I were to be the owner of a site such as this.
Do you find that Annwyn's behavior and attitude was acceptable?
Do you know that the person she attacked, wasn't someone she meet from here?
This is a site where sisters and brothers, who might be taking their first shaky
steps out into the real world, come to find others who might understand the
obstacles that they are faced with on a daily basis. We have all done things
early on in our transitions, that we now know might not have been the best
way to do things. Things we may now find extremely embarrassing to recall.
I couldn't help but think, if this had been me, in the earliest stages of my transition,
who this beautiful young "SISTER" had torn into, it would have probably crippled me.
Such statements, as the ones made by Annwyn, cannot not be left to stand
on a site purporting to provide support, for fear that a young brother or sister
may stumble upon such discouraging statements and an individual who has such
an attitude cannot be allowed to interact unchecked, with those who are
taking their first shaky steps, on a privately owned, support site.
