    Saddening ENA reviews

    in Topics

    Posted

    Everyone who tries to help a stranger on the internet should feel responsible for the effect of their words on that person. It should be obvious. There are sites where people post about suicidal thoughts and people commenting to them, while no professionals, seem to be aware of their responsibility to gently direct them to professionals or gently offer them comfort. It is obvious that you're supposed to either say something that doesn't affect that person for worse, or say nothing at all. If this is so, why the same rule shouldn't work here, with people sharing their private troubles of their personal lives? You know what I'm trying to say, right? But I have trouble putting that to words.

     

    My candid, non sarcastic explanation is this...

     

    There have been many threads on this site (recently too) that follow the same pattern. OP posts an issue, usually something quite bizarre. The members take the time to read the thread, and offer help. The OP refuses to listen to the advice yet continues to repeat the plea for help. The members get annoyed and offer advice without sugar coating. The OP either claims they are being ganged up on, or they insist they are NOT asking for advice. A day later (or sometimes the same day) the same OP creates another thread with the SAME story, usually under a different user name, in hopes of hearing what the want to....

     

    So... for some of us, it gets old.

    Not concerning Wiseman, but concerning the technique - that's one of the ways of therapy/helping that I do not support :) Some people do benefit from provocative therapies, but overall I think there are better ways to approach it.

     

    I'm a "spaghetti on the wall" kind of person!

    Of the reviews you read... did you actually see what those folks posted on eNA? It was quite obvious who they were and what their threads were. I must admit... they were not acting like adults. I'm not saying that deserves berating, just pointing out that it was a few people on the fringe that didn't seem very mature IMHO.

     

    Just to clarify...

     

    The people who wrote the reviews were not acting like adults on here....

     

    Sometimes I don't 'splain very well!

    I didn't expect the reviewers to use their ENA names, I'm also not a regular on forum. So you checked the reviews and compared them to threads? You calmed me down a bit, cause I wondered about that, but some comments sounded more genuinely wronged than just pissed off, you know.

     

    They didn't use their names, but they described their threads and it was obvious!!! They did, however, drop names of the eNA folks that they thought were nasty!!!! :stung:

     

    Anyhow, I just thought I would provide my observation. I've had things said to me on here that have stuck in my craw, and I've also said some harsh things. But you know what... if things get "nasty" I usually IM that person to apologize/explain, and we end up becoming comrades on here!!

    Gee, Camber, the week on the step must have addled your brains:friendly_wink:

    Do explain.

     

    Digital means binary... when you move, you are at point x, then you move to point y. If the world was analog you would be in constant motion between those points - no matter how infinitesimal those points become. OK, now we are getting into calculus, I know...
