Hello everyone

This forum is much needed to all who is in difficult situations and needs support.We arenot going anywhere with constant verbal fight !!!

If it will continue like it was in the last two month,more and more people will be turned away without help, despite the name of this forum.

The name of this forum speaks for itself and so is the topics of the posts here, which were much deviated because of this verbal fight we were involved in.

I think, that we all have to try to maintain open and respectful to all parties dialogue from now on, sharing our own experience and giving a valuable advice to the ones who needs it
Without temper tantrums.

I can not imagine saying the nasty words to someone on the street ,a person I am meeting for the first time and barely(if at all ) know.

So why is it ok to shout out disrespectful comments to the strangers?
Just because you can hide behind your computer screen ?

I was trying to take a break from the social media for a day and reasonably look into the situation in this forum.

I was thinking of what if we all will be sitting at the tea table and having a conversation, trying to get to know each other and learn from our cultures and embrace the diversity? Would it be nice to have a better understanding of the expectations, traditions and cultures of all do that we can better understand and respect each other?
So it will be less and less awkward and hurtful situations?
I know, that no one is protected from bad malicious people in any given nation.
Natalie was once asked what can be done in order to prevent the repeating the same situation?
It is not the simple answer ,but this forum should continue sharing our stories, with die respect to the others, with out forcing their beliefs into others in this forum, without bashing ones who were hurt but was dare enough to step out of the shadow and speak up here about their experience ,so hopefully we can prevent and save someone from the troubles we were in, partially-because of belong blinded by the feelings and emotions ,lack of the knowledge about cultural differences,and partially because of the bad person we happened to meet.

Let's be respectful to all posters here!
Everyone has the right to their own opinion but it does not makes that person a bad one just because their opinion is not the same as yours!
Also,try to not to push your culture and your beliefs onto one another,as it is also creates a conflict and rudeness of this forum!

Let's have a peaceful dialogue here without negativity !!! ...

Peace to all!!!
