I'm just wanting to say it's important not to get battling with other people's opinions. Everyone is different and there is no wrong way to express yourself. We are all vulnerable so criticism should not be done. It affects us all. We are all here trying to support one another. Take care.

I have taken the below from the community guidelines in the pinned posts. I think we can all agree that the post in question was sexually explicit. It's nothing to do with opinions. No post should be put up which can upset or alarm other members of the site. Some of you clearly think graphic pornography is fine, whereas others like me don't.

'Content should never be abusive, derogatory, sexually explicit or suggestive, or deliberately misleading. If you believe someone else’s content violates this rule, please report it via the “Report Abuse” option or via the “Feedback” button. Content that is felt to violate this policy will either be edited or removed. All feedback reports are read by moderators and it is their judgement on what action, if any, is taken'

If this type of post is now allowed on here I won't be the only one leaving this site I am sure.

I posted the above as I didn't want personal digs to be made over the 'offensive' post. This I did as I am aware that you may have taken my reply as critical of you which wasn't my intention.

Your last comment clearly shows how personally you take matters.

It's your decision to interact with the site. I don't think emotional blackmail is a healthy response to anything. I'm sorry you feel the way that you do.

The post has been toned down (presumably by the admins) thank goodness. It is more acceptable now. And all the obscene language has been taken out. The extreme explicit bits have also been amended as that was against site rules anyway.

I responded to Douche003 by personal message earlier as I didn't want to offend anyone. So he's got some advice from two sources. Now his amended post follows guidelines I'm sure he will get further advice from those who felt his post too hardcore.

I have not taken anything personally merely stated the rules of the site which are there to protect us. I am also entitled to my own opinions too.

Nor do I do emotional blackmail. You have read me wrong. I am unfollowing the site for the time being though as feel sick at the thought of being here now.

I will see how I feel in the future. Take care. x

Well as I said in the private message I think you are wrong to leave the site due to this post. I understand that we do not want sexually explicit language or offensive language here. However, people will post about a variety of traumatic events. Some will be easier to deal with than others.

At the end of the day the site is here to support everyone and it's a shame you feel unable to use it at the moment. I hope you return soon. Take care.

Would of thought the site would have an automatic sensor in place in regards to swear words being used if it is that frowned upon and from my experiences on other forums would of thought it would be an easy implementation,or maybe not.

Sorry guys didn't mean too offend you in anyway, I'm just brutaly honest and do not sugar coat subjects about myself and issues in all aspects off life. My post is offensive and disturbing I know but this is my me at my most vulenerable moment in life. I'm sorry too use cussing in the post thats just how express myself in IRL. I put my all into my posts as you can read thru them, it is pure honesty and emotion from my 24 years on this beautiful planet. As I said in my post earlier going further down into it I said that, "that ignorance is the most dangerous thing that human beings can produce" and you can fight me all you want about this but this is a FACT. Nothing in life was ever solved with ignorance and will never be, and the subject matter that I have talked about what I have been thru or have done I do not at all condone at all especially prostitution, and I do not at all tolerate CHILD abuse in anway sexual, physical, mental and bullying none of it. All of these "taboo" subjects that I have talked about have damaged me and have stole alout of the happiness in my early years of life and I just starting too learn too deal with it. Again I am sorry I have changed my username too something more appropiate and have refrained from using any harsh language at all in this reply. I do not judge I actually rather admire all of you especially the ones that have been PMing me about this and it has been nothing but supportive. I will continue too use this site cause something about just feels safe and chill idk lol, but I could have gone any where else but have chosen too stay. I am not mad for not being able too reply too my post that I put a lot of effort into but, that being said I have read posts on here that go into dive into subjects like STD's , cheating couples, suicide, all froms of abuse and learning too cope with PTSD so it did ruffle me a bit too wake up too me being critized in the open like this but I have a thick skin from my life experiences and hold no ill will towards any off you. But just keep in mind what if you actually drove some one off that was in the same situation as me or much worse about too do serious harm too themselves or others which aeems too be going on alout around the world these days. I hope that we all can learn something from this I have but if just try too censor any topic along the lines of taboo then we will never learn how too solve the problem as history shows. Thank you for your time and hope that all of you get thru your own hardships in life, and I forgive you all cause I know that you are trying too make this a safe space for people that need help. Love you all =).
