Huge congratulations,
@GTL Old-Timer
This weekend has definitely given me pause for thought, as some of you know from private messages.
Then, yesterday evening I read SH's messages which I interpreted as her asking for us to stop commenting and an acknowledgement that she's acted in ways she's not proud of in the past (not that I think she's required to atone for stuff in public).
She referred to comments continuing after she has spoken about the harm they've caused. She's said this a few times, I'm not aware of when she has actually said they've caused her harm or upset her. Possibly in the original video but because that also contained exaggeration and wilful misrepresentation of comments here, I dismissed it as more exaggeration.
Anyway, realising it's the closest SH can probably come to saying she's hurt by the stuff here, I'd kind of made up my mind to stop posting.
Then she mentioned me, using my initials and, in my opinion , misrepresenting tweets I'd sent her at the start of September (still up @salihughes @la_elvista, if anyone cares. I can't be arsed with a tit for tat about it.) I was livid at the manipulation and the doubts I'd had went straight out of the window.
I have enjoyed posting here, SH is right about that. I have really laughed and have enjoyed making others laugh. I've enjoyed being a bitch and feeling righteous. I've also gone too far when experiencing a very prononced manic episode. And because of the nature of bipolar mania, I've enjoyed that too as well as at times feeling disturbed by it (if you've ever taken acid, the heightened emotions of biploar mania are very like that but lasting a month or two).
Anyway, I'm not making excuses. I'm not passing judgement on anyone else posting but I think I'm going to stop posting here.
I don't think the threads are trolling (they're not intended to provoke a response from the subject) and I think a lot of what SH does is worthy of scrutiny.
Apologies for long boring post.
