Honey human conflicts are up to each person to resolve individually.
Nobody controls anyone else.
I already said the only way other ppl could manipulate you is by your fear or avoidance of unresolved or unforgiven conflicts. You address those yourself and nobody can push your buttons.
(A) someone who wants to manipulate will not encourage you to overcome your fears or weaknesses but will intimidate you by them. Treat you the way Socio targeted Forrest and tell him hes doomed. Reinforce your defensiveness to keep you in avoidance and denial
(B) people like me who dont want to watch ppl targeted for their issues will point out the solutions openly to share insights where ppl can solve their own conflicts and find their own answers. These dont come from me but from the process of interacting, its mutual. Im not the only one pointing out the mommy issues or daddy issues going on. I am one of the ppl here who encourages resolving these issues. And that is to PREVENT manipulation.
it's about us not getting sued
an example: someone commited blackmail recently on this forum... technically, i think we could have been sued for that since it happened on our forum....
what if an underage comes on here, and sees a naked pic? without TOS saying you have to be of legal age.. we could be sued.
So, the TOS is basically going to tell us what we can and can't post because of underage minors?
How about you put an age limit on this place instead. That way you're covered. If they lie and something happens, then it will be their problem.
As for the blackmail. I still don't believe TheSocio blackmailed anyone. I bet you anything Forrest wasn't even a real person. He was most likely TheSocio's own puppet.
