I wish I had more to say Mel, but the only think I can say is that its nice to hear that other people have the exact same problem. I came to this forum originally because I was having issues and I didn't want to talk to people in RL about them. Of course I don't have any excuses or a bad home life to blame or anything. Just an issue I've developed. I think almost everyone has the same issue to some point.
As for the other conversation, in real life I am actually way more rude and have a very absurd, dark sense of humor. On here I'm pretty polite and considerate and I think withdrawn.

A big Thankyou to everyone for your feedback, I wasn't completely comfortable putting myself out there and your responses have helped my realise again that even though something maybe be difficult it's worth it
FL for the most part my post was about myself, when I said I had been saddened by the recent issues on here I was meaning it in a broad sense, a feeling I got and it resonated with me because of my own issues I had been dealing with. I had no-one in particular in mind when I wrote it. It was for myself and anyone who may want to listen. I don't think your a bully or a bad bloke, you write things sometimes that I don't agree with but many people say things I don't agree with, I do not let that base my opinion on them. We are a big melting pot of personalities and opinions. I think from what you can tell from getting a glimpse on someone on a forum that we actually have some personality similarities and that we would in RL get along quite well. I'm sorry if you took it personal, that was never my intention

My point is: These Forums are not a way to get to know someone well. In all probability, what you think you ''know'' about someone is wrong.
I have also other experience. My correspondence friend to be the way he seemed from correspondence.
