Very sorry to hear of this. This community is very important and vibrant with all members engaged appropriately. This member should be blocked.

Oh noo.... Not again... Why doesn't @admin care about female members in the community.

I reported to admin an abuser and nothing was done and it took five days for them to answer my message. Your best recourse is block, report and move on. I will not let any moron scare me away. There’s some hateful people on here as there are everywhere, it’s part of life. Take a break if you must but don’t let them get the better of you permanently.

Take a break. It's good for you. But don't go forever. You're a highlight for me.

"Consequences" are IMO not for internet sites (any of them) because, "free speech". Who is going to be the censor & what should their "powers" be? And why would I want you or anyone else to have them?
I am a responsible adult and do not run to "mommy" if someone tells me to STFU, or that I am wrong, or why. Use the Block if you must, but quitting because others exercise their rights, Just as you can, is cutting off your nose to spite your face...what site(s), exactly, are going to "protect you"?

Use the BLOCK function. I started about a month ago and have already blocked several people.

Please don't go BB. I you do it means the arsehole win and we will all miss you so much x

You will be very much missed, having been one of my favourite users since I first joined this site. I hope you'll be back.

What did I miss??.... What happened??

I am sad as I have been concerned for you and now I will have no way to know if you are doing ok or not.

I will seriously miss you. I hope your break is temporary, don't let the trolls win!

Really unhappy because I no longer know what to do. I've lost two people from the site this week. Who both considered themselves to be my friends.

And more the week before. Sure I have more contact info. for them - but it's not the same.

Seems to be assholes everywhere one goes. Sorry to hear you've had this experience.

I'm very sorry that you feel you have to leave to avoid the assholes. I hope you'll reconsider. You will be missed, if you choose to go.

Please don't let some jerk's unjustifiably inappropriate comments chase you off. Have you heard from @Admin?

OMG no I"m so sorry. I will miss you!

there is one individual I am surprised is still here. his posts to me seemed to break all the rules/ Didnt give me a lot of faith so to speak. Luckily it has only happened once. Must be because I preemptively block a lot of people

That's a shame. Do people need to get kicked off the site? I still haven't run into anybody being that negative. Maybe it's just the posts I choose to look at or something. Or is it worse for women? Another woman who is a friend of mine on here got tired of the negativity took a long break. Is there no way to fix it? I hate to see people leave.

Don't go! Please don't! Seriously, Please don't go!
