Daisy, I responded on your other thread. I missed it that you needed support and I am so sorry.
SOT, it is clear you feel wronged, but of course this is a support group and you are right to say so. I don’t see that you were gaslighted in response to your defending your view. And I don’t think the responses were meant as a threat, either. In the two years I’ve been here I have only seen two people asked to leave. The statement that people are frequently “voted off the island” is incorrect. I wouldn’t fear that at all, here.
