I might well be just having a hissy fit here but I've decided to give all forums a wide berth from now on. I'm at risk of letting my online life affect my real life in a negative way and I have enough problems which I'm struggling with at the moment, without bickering and criticism online on top of everything. It's not just this forum, it's others too, I see things being said on various motorhoming / campng forums which I find offensive, insensitive, disrespectful and people treating people in a way they perhaps wouldn't do in real life and I just don't like it.
I'm no angel and I know that I take things far too personally and over react but at least I have the honesty and integrity to admit to it, and to apologise, usually publicly. And whilst this isn't an excuse, this sensitivity and over-reacting are symptoms of a long term mental disorder which I have been trying to overcome and to learn to control over the past few years - it's very difficult for people to understand, and there is alot of stigma attached to it, it's known as "Emotional disregulation disorder" or by the old-fashioned name "Borderline Personality Disorder".
Most of my very good friends from forums are Facebook friends so we'll be able to keep in touch in a way I'm comfortable with and where I don't have to justify my feelings or emotions and can decide what I want on my page. If that makes me a control freak, then so be it. There's far worse things I could be.
Anyone who wants to keep in touch, you can email me, or PM as I'll probably check in from time to time to see what's going on but I won't be posting any more. I shall use the time saved to best advantage, working on the van instead!
Good luck to the forum, be kind to each other, you are all decent people and I haven't fallen out with anyone in particular, I just know that getting involved in online scraps is not good for me and I need to avoid it.
