Anyway, thank you Steve for making the changes. I hope this will make things a bit easier for some to post and that we can talk about some of those "grey" areas that aren't black and white without feeling as if we are letting down the side.
Ditto. I believe the changes can lead to the creation of a safe haven for victims and survivors. I also agree with Navigatr1 about victims needing to speak up and be supportive of each other. Some of the grey areas though need to be ironed out as quickly as possible, in my opinion. For example, it’s unclear who specifically is considered a friend, supporter or victim’s advocate. Without a concise game plan there will always be confusion, misunderstandings and a feeling of lack of support. Navigatr1’s post is a perfect example. He promptly posted here because it was important for him to show support. However, he made it perfectly clear that his continued presence in this forum won’t happen because he didn’t want to create waves. I’m saddened to hear that he won’t bother to post based on his assumptions.
As a person without a specific label I can tell you from experience that perceptions and assumptions are almost always incorrect. I’ve been called a hatemonger, peeper, sheep, pedo-lover, sex offender supporter and I’m sure there are others slipping my mind right now that would be in violation of Steve’s rules if I mentioned (lol). I suppose my label changes with the wind. How do I know how I’m being perceived and whether I’m welcomed in a certain forum? I believe it’s in everyone’s best interests as to not cause confusion and hard feelings that victims stop holding back. Speak your minds and be honest about your gut feelings and what you believe is right and safe for victims. Us non-victim labeless people cannot read your minds. Without really knowing who is and who is not welcomed in this forum I suspect a lot of people might feel like they are walking on egg shells, and as a result be too afraid to post and offer support.
I just wanted to post the voice of us labeless people to express the confusion and hopefully encourage others to post, support, ask questions and most of all respect our victim’s feelings. Regardless of my label of the day or the color of my hat there is one thing you can always count on; that would be DP1’s undivided attention and support.
