This has gone long enough! There are two members (no names, keeping it clean) that, although I understand that negative criticism is a part of the business, this is just ridiculous! I feel like everytime I speak I get a battering ram of negative comments! My self esteem is in terrible condition as it is, and this constant onslaught of harsh criticism is killing me! If I do not see change then I am leaving the coven because this is too much! If I cannot express my ideas openly then I am out!

Message : I understand you are giving input, but I cannot take having this battering ram of harsh criticism ever time I finish a sentence. In my theory posts that is all I get from you, I mean in my Dream Theory thread, HALF of the feedback is you bashing on how illogical it is, I mean religion, Gods, THE God, Demons, Angels, Devils, Spirits, Earth Spirits, Nature Gods, and just about everything else on this site is in one way or another illogical, and yet of all of it its the unique stuff that is being called out, I know you have lots of experience and that is wonderful, but this is ridiculous.
My self esteem is tattered as it is, and this constant negative feedback is killing me. Try to say something nice, at least once, just to balance it out as you say is your profession, balance. If all I get from you is negative, then where is this balance? If there is nothing positive that you can think of for what I put, then keep your harsh opinions to yourself. If there is no change in the next three days then I am leaving the coven, because I cannot handle it.

Message : I know I said I would wait three days for change, but I have realized that I am the source of the problem. I will be here for one more day to see if I'm not making a mistake, but otherwise I am leaving the coven.

Seriously? It's a part of growing. Accepting you could be wrong is the key to growth and takes you far. >.> Mind you i just got these this morning. So yeah.
I received the exact same mail, Maat. I don't take kindly to being threaten and given ultimatums.

Subject : I may be leaving the coven
Message : I figured that since I believe us to be friends that I should let you know that there is a high probability that I will be leaving Deep Arts, I know back in Natural Magick the same thing happened, but this time it is because I do not think I am in the right place for my ideas. My beliefs are too abstract and too different for them to be welcome here. On my theory threads that greatly are influenced by my beliefs and interests, I have been bashed with negative feedback, of all that I put I can only find one nice thing that someone has said about what I believe, and its taking its toll on my self esteem, and this shows that my ideas are not what this coven is for, its for sticking to the book, following teachings hundreds of years old, not for new things. I am sorry, I will miss all your cool Demonology ideas and comments, but you're the only one here that I really can stick to, almost all the others either have nothing nice to say, or nothing at all to say about my ideas, which goes to show that I must be really off base to be here.
