Can I just remind people of some of the chat room rules as there were some problems in chat last night and we want to re-iterate that we are all here for the same reasons so let's be kind to each other please!
The rules I want to point out are:
2) No personal insults to others.
3) If you don't like what someone has to say, the chat room gives you the option to ignore their posts.
4) Arguments that get out of hand or fighting will not be tolerated and Admins will remove problem people from the chat rooms regardless of who started it.
7) Sometimes we make mistakes and say something we didn’t mean to. As long as you admit that you made a mistake, ask for forgiveness, and try not to repeat it, you will not be banned.
8) Don't harass or threaten anyone. Don't call people names. Whilst we understand that emotions will sometimes run high with various topics, please don't turn on each other.
11) If you have a problem with another member, please contact an Admin or Chat Host you trust, and protect yourself using the 'Ignore' feature.
15) If someone wants to stop contact with you, either by telling you this or selecting the "ignore" function then respect that decision. To continue contact is harassing and may be considered stalking, with legal remedies.
17) Respect the Admins (their name will show in RED). People with admin status are there to keep the room safe and have the ability to remove people from chat when these rules aren't being followed.
21) Joking and laughing are important parts of recovery. If someone enters the room and wants to talk about painful issues, joking must be put on hold while the person in crisis is being helped. If you do not want to participate, please use private chat or another chat room to talk until the person needing help is done. It is inconsiderate to laugh and joke while someone else is talking about disturbing issues.
