What do you mean? Why not air it on a forum, devoted to drugs? I didn't expect people to react that way n gang up on me like that as I've been here a while n know people. I do take things online seriously. People are still people whether it is the net or not. People can't be mean to others n use "it's only the net don't take it seriously" as a way to get round it.
I am sorry that I offended people. I thought people would have 'listened' to the fact something was upsetting me last November - instead they only looked at what I said about the foreigners. They are not the main issue I was using them as a blame factor which I know is wrong. I do do me research but as the issue clearly offends others I'm apologising n not gna keep pn about it. Though I did not find your joke about me trying to OD last November, appropriate. It wasn't very nice feeling that low n taking a load of citralopram. I was at a low point n feel extreme guilt over that point in my life.
But, sorry, I don't go by that "it's only the Internet BS. That's the type of things that trolls say (I'm not saying yr a troll, though someone actually accused me of being one yesterday). But nonetheless trolls come onto sites like this, god know why but hurt others, and think they can get away with doing so by saying, "It's only the Internet.". It is not. It is PEOPLE communicating by using the Internet - we're not androids, are we?!
I need to learn how to deal with conflict in a better way. I need to face it instead of going elsewhere n moaning about it being it makes me look two-faced by doing so. But it's difficult when everyone isn't against you n I didn't expect that reaction as we're all British. But nonetheless I am sorry to anyone I have offended.
And I've not touched codeine or alcohol.

Dan I'm not mad at you - you've never upset me. OTW is decent too. We PMd last night.
Well, you have every right to air 'controversial views' it and feel free to do so, its more the fact that you were outraged and shocked at the reactions to your daft opinions, and thought everybody was ganging up and 'bullying' you. It was actually me who called you a troll, as they are people who say explosive things and then sit back and watch the flood of replies, like going on a drug forum and saying something derogatory about drug users for example, what did you think would happen? And then your over the top reaction to a few peoples reactions, about how you were being bullied and hounded or picked on, is sometimes another troll tactic, but i don't think you are a troll now tbh from reading a few more of your posts, just a very sensitive person.
And no, we don't become androids online, but i don't think i'm wrong in saying that to use the internet and forums you do need to take a step back and realize that at the same time, it is not real life, take everything said with a pinch of salt, and while in a post you expect us to focus on one part of a post as mentioned above, we do not know that is your intention as they are just words on a page and there is not the same body language indicators that we have in real life to let us know the tone of the post. Yeah my joke was pretty off-colour, and i apologize for that, but again, it wasn't a joke about you trying to OD, it was a joke about the ridiculousness about putting both that and the racist comment right next to each other in the same post.
Don't worry so much
