I was looking for the Broken thread. I can still find it in Purgatory, but the last post there was the Hostly decision to move it to All Saints, as it would be more appropriate there. That makes a lot of sense to me, except that it doesn't seem to be in All Saints. Does anyone know what has happened to it?

Somebody started making threats about legal action. This is something we always take seriously, so the thread has been removed from the public boards.

What threat of legal action? There is no threat.

I am not taking legal action against anyone, any time. The church is afraid of me because it thinks I will, but I won't. I am a Catholic. Catholics do not sue their own mothers.

I think this is a reference to me.

To accuse me of threatening legal action is a travesty.

I simply warned of the possibility of posters facing action re abusive comments posted in Hell.

I dislike how things you say here are twisted by the admin for their own agenda.

There was no need to pull the whole thread. I am sorry for any upset caused to you ACR.

Oh the irony. "would love to belong" throws toys out of pram at a bit of swearing (whilst swearing herself), no one gives a monkies.

At the same time threatens the ship with some very offensive language causing a thread to close. Thereby hurting ACR.

ACR, come back, none of this is about you.

WLTB, I would like you to apologise please for your awful use of language which caused a much needed thread to be closed. I would call happily call you to Hell if I did not think it would drag out your desire to get all nasty, petulant and litigious.

Fly Safe, Pyx_e

I think I have made my position clear.

I have apologised to ACR for any contribution I made to the pulling of the thread.

As I said, we take legal threats very seriously no matter how they are expressed.

I'm pleased to see that you've found the correct place to air your concern though. If you have any other concerns about how the boards are run, this board (The Styx) is the place to do so. You'll notice a few threads down from this one is the the you started where you were concerned about the use of coarse language that was moved here from All Saints. Feel free to respond to some of the replies on there.

As others have said, you've done nothing wrong but unfortunately the thread got derailed. I hope you've noticed that Tubbs has started a new thread in All Saints on the same subject. I hope you'll be able to contribute to it.

Anglo Catholic Relict - I started this thread which led to you getting hurt. That wasn't my intention, and I very much hope you will find your way back to these boards.

I hope so too. I have to accept 100% responsibility for ACR getting hurt and hope she finds her way back quickly.

I disagree, there was always the option to come here and ask for an explanation and engage in a dialogue - rather than post and leave. That is a choice - not an imposition by you, or anybody else.

Whatever. ACR was hurt and it was me that derailed the thread and led to it being pulled. So the responsibility is firmly on me and I am sorry. Just hoping that ACR will return quickly. As noted above, there is a new thread on which the topic of discussion on the pulled thread can continue.

I have received two very kind messages, and have come here to make one thing clear. Nobody here is responsible for me leaving.

I have gone because I am already hurt, already broken, and clearly not resilient enough to cope with being here. It is not a safe enough place for me to be.

Nobody here is responsible for any of that. Nobody has to feel bad, or think that they said anything or did anything to hurt me. I was already hurt, long before coming here.

I wish you all well.
