You're right, yes. If I could state my own opinion, I would, but I know where that would land me with some people. Not that I don't mind that. I care for your group, and I'll leave it at that. If you want, I'll delete my posts.

i mean it's fine. i just am upset that i should not be allowed to be salty when my whole existence and who i am as a person is constantly called into question on this site. as if i don't get enough of that in real life from my own family lol so im just like. i can't find a safe space anywhere apparently.
like this site is definitely not a safe space for any lgbt people. i guess that's my pet peeve.

I stepped in too quick, not allowing you to be upset which isn't right on my part. People here shouldn't be allowed to bash a community like the way they do. It pisses me off to no end and where my heart lies in this can't be stated because -- rules, bias. At this point, I've given the Christians a warning as the same for the republican group. Some of them were involved, I told them to not discuss it. You deserve better, Sanders. I'm sorry.

I understand you're in a hard position, and that you have to do your job impartially, but in the interest of full honesty, it did sting to see the mod that I trust the most to handle LGBT issues tell my friend to "calm down" for sharing the serious negative impact the homophobia/transphobia here have had on his mental health. It's stuff like that that makes us feel unsupported here, like we can speak all we want about what we deal with, but it'll all be deleted or shut down or both. That's not really a you thing, but it is an overall WCF thing, and it's a shame that the mods aren't able to better support their LGBT population. Again, I know you're doing your best, and I know your personal views from conversations my friends and I have had with you, so this isn't so much a personal thing as an overall issue with the way the forums are right now, but it's disappointing. We deserve better from this site.

Also, thank you for warning them, too. I do appreciate that.

We deserve better from this site. The calm down for was sponge bob, I probably f'd up there. I didn't word right, I'm clearly not worthy to step in there anymore. I apologize sincerely for it. I want to help and support as much as I can but I need to figure out how without ending up with a load of butterflies on my back. I feel terrible for Verbatim's leaving. Let Verb know that my comment was for spongebob.

Now we know why the old mods weren't allowed to speak on these sort of topics. And why they were banned-- mostly because flamewars follow the subjects, but also because mods would be accused of bias by all sides no matter what they do. It's a tough situation.

My pet peeves: -text boxes, small text, and colored text. It's harder to read or disorienting. -large gifs in signatures. Pretty distracting and they make the page slower. -ads obviously
