Big up Anthony.

Negative reps are kinda awkward... sometimes its hard posting on this site and I know I regularly feel that I'm getting it all completely wrong, and that people must get the wrong impression of me. I would hate to get a negative rep in the form of the rep system - because it's not a "i dont like that post" it's "You now have a negative reputation"... I would rather someone PMed me specifically if they had a problem with a post I might have put up.

However, do agree with Anthony in that the possibility of triggering someone is so high in PTSD, in the end its about each individual person taking responsibility for what they can or can't cope with and if they can't cope then don't look and protect yourself. If I worried about triggering someone, I wouldn't write anything ever about PTSD just in case.

I have had one positive rep comment, and I tell you what - it made my day. I don't know who gave it to me (is it meant to be anonymous?), but thanks to that person cos for once I actually felt good about myself to get some good feedback. So for that reason I'm all for the system. It's quite a thoughtful and supportive system in that respect.
