    In addition to advising you to seek help from a professional, because this is a serious problem, could I ask that you don't just use emoticons as title for posts.

    It basically forces people who are merely curious and concerned into reading your post. In this case, this is a conversation best left between you and the forum moderator. This is a little manipulative, even if it's unintentional.

    How the Hell is an emoticon manipulative?

    My objection centered around the fact that it was just an emoticon. Had the title read, "Help with eating disorder :(" I would have skipped over it and left it to people who might help. As it happens, I had to read the post on this very personal/sensitive topic before deciding whether or not I even wanted to in the first place. Would you prefer the term deceptive instead manipulative? Retract the claws, if you don't mind.
    I didn't make you read it though. You could of ignored the "emoticon" and passed it by. Or read the topic and just left anyway.

    I don't agree with that she was perusing and saw it with no idea what it was about once she read it damage done like a car wreck you know....but you didn't do it on purpose. But do read this again when you are feeling close to doing that whatever helps you take a step back you know.

    I agree with your observation :) We are indeed chatting on forums. It doesn't seem really relevant to the conversation, though, does it? Unless you're imply that a 4 word title constitutes an essay, in which case we'll just have to agree to disagree.

    Have a good day, and best wishes to all.

    You're thirty-three years old and you're arguing with a teenager. Congratulations.

    *shrug* You're an adult. I could treat you like a child if you prefer, but I thought you might find it offensive. Nothing I've said indicates a lack of respect. It's a pity it didn't go both ways.

    I meant what I said about wishing you (and everyone else) well.

    Sorry. It used to say that on your profile. Maybe you had a birthday?

    And calling me "honey" really isn't necessary. You said you were a teenager and the other poster said you were an adult. I was trying to clear up confusion.

    I genuinely hope you guys are having fun.

    OooOoO Honey and the condescending terms of endearment come out. Sorry but that really lets the immaturity show.
