Understandable. Although, I don't think KG sounds like your aunt 
You know sometimes on CC I read something and I think, are we living in the Stone Age? I know there are some that don't think a woman should be a leader, President. I don't agree with Hillary's politics but look what men leaders have done. Is the thought of a woman running the country that scary? I don't just mean Hillary, but I mean what if a conservative Christian woman was running for president. There are some people who could agree with her on all issues but would say, what I can't vote for a woman! That baffles my mind.
As a woman I can tell you that we can and we do lead.

This is why I really wanted to open up a discussion about the internet and ask people what their experiences were. It is fascinating!
Internet forums (and CC) are a place where people you’d never know of or interact with, get a chance to take the soapbox and share their opinions.
That’s all well and good and in fact that is really the purpose of it all – to facilitate such communication.
Since this is a Christian site, which covers a plethora of things, people genuinely do come here to seek answers or guidance related to matters of God. It is not just a “biking forum” or a “harry potter club”.
People bring the deepest issues that they can have and share it on here.
THAT is completely all right.
It is also completely all right that some half insane, no training in counseling or formal education and even Scriptural knowledge person posts advice – some of which borders on breaking up families.
It is up to the person asking after all, to take that input.
So the most anyone can do is call for discernment, point out such behaviors and pepper a very interesting discussion with personal anecdotes.
Then again, you never know when a nut will explode and just cause a ruckus about all of it !
[Unfortunately that took place, and I really hope the mods look into it and see if they can facilitate such a discussion.]
This is also another psychologically interesting aspect.
I don’t know about all of you – when there’s a disagreement and I don’t care for a person – I just click the “X” button.
It’s amazing how people can go from 0 to crazy about many of these things. Just from conversations with a lot of people and also observing some of these posts – some of these people might come across as so absolutely holy and “normal”.
They just drip with so much piety and have no problems correcting others for such and such act but their reactions to any form of dissent or anything that they perceive that would shake their online identity just exposes so much insanity!
It’s just weird. It’s like a last ditch effort in some web of manipulation? Maybe the people who are better versed in psychology might be able to pinpoint some of this.
[Again so glad, I am not interacting with any of them]
Ok. Streams of Thoughts – out - steps off the soapbox!

Its very hurtful and judgemental of you to be degatory towards the mentally ill and I'm sick of others you know who you are who you are bashing the mentally ill saying they're spending too much on CC. Mention the other ppl too WHO ARENT mentally ill like yourselves( those who refers to who are being mean to the mentally I'll) who spent too much time being late for work and up on Cc till until 6am Do you think that impresses me and is a good example to non believers ? I hope no one is referring to me cause I don't stay up late as much some ppl do and I've cut down my staying up late . usually when I've stayed on late on CC its been God lead fellowship and I have and will be blessed for those life changing interactions. I hope you understand that I only came back to this site cause God told in 2014 I wasto be here 2008 2009 different username and I fought him I'm not here for wrong motives and I intend to continue to be a blessing and be blessed. Some of you have mentioned you're mentally ill so why are you bashing yourselfs you're the same . I've had so many problems in my life because of mental health and people hating judging me and showing stigma. Most of the ppl I'm referring think its not real we pity ourselves and are attention seekers. God is healing me so I can work again ( no I'm not lazy) I wanted to work for along time of course some don't who I really am and I won't boast you'll prob that the positive outcomes that have occured from not working the wrong way that's OK I forgive for all of this. I and the mentally ill community on Cc the rest of CC who actually love ppl such the mentally ill letting you know no more flying degatory comments about them flying around. Don't judge and take the plank out of your own eyes. I'm and others are very hurt and angry by what yous have continually said acting so childish. I'm open if you're truelly serious to apologise to the mentally I'll community so there can be restoration . I love you all.
Ok, I have to say something about Rachel20... I've known her for some time, longer than any of you here.. and I know that she would not intentionally make fun of the mentally ill or anyone with disabilities. She actually has worked with disabled and disadvantaged people out of the goodness of her heart. I'm sure her comment was just a knee-jerk reaction to the drama that's been going on here (of which I know absolutely nothing about...and do not want to get involved). We are supposed to be Christians.... we're supposed to forgive and forget..

sorry Gab if your upset i didnt mean to upset you it was more im tired of people generally marginalising the Mentally ill .
Laura is so right tho if people have unresolved issues thats up to them. my whole point was myself included we need to be very careful with our words , making it hard for them, the stigma they dont need which some of us not just the issue of health issues whatever have had so much of . A personal suggestion would be if one sees a person as problematic please dont label them as insane or mentally ill and if they are dont make light of that its a health issue . Ima move on from this .
