Timely reminder

Hi folks,

We all need to be reminded from time to time of our obligations when we signed up to the community T&C's and Guidelines, which are available in the pinned posts section. We encourage all members to respect each other and to avoid causing harm to another. Often folks here are in a vulnerable or distressed state, and our words can both be a comfort and support to each other, but can equally can cause unwittingly harm and wound. The medium of anonymous forums, chat rooms, instant messaging etc can be very helpful, but as we cannot hear the tone of words or see body language, words can be misinterpreted even if there was no negative intent. Please respect each other and seek to build each other up, and take care how you respond to each other. If you haven't got something positive to say then don't say it.

“Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury, and remedying it.” (Albus Dumbledore)

― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
