Please vote - forum changes

[HeyJupiter]

Okay, People are obviously frustrated and upset over the changes to the forum. For those of you who dont know what is going on. This Forum, Survivors of Violence, used to be called Survivors of Abuse. Some people wanted a forum for survivors of sexual assault, as many people see sexual abuse as something that is part of child abuse and something that happens over a period of time. A poll was posted here http://www.christianforums.com/t1981026-just-a-thought.html

In which 19 people voted in favour of a sexual assault forum and there was not one vote against it.

No one too my knowledge, and not publicaly on the board anyway, ever suggested for the forum name to be changed from Survivors of Abuse to Survivors of Violence. We even said there could just be a survivors of sexual assault subforum inside this abuse forum

This forum seems to have gone from supportive to peopel attacking each other. Just trying to try and fix things by posting this.. Thanks for reading

I think that the forum we already have in place for survivors of crime suits rape extremely well. It is considered a violent crime. Why was this not acceptable ??

Just an idea: What about

a Survivors of Abuse forum, with threads for physical abuse, sexual abuse, child abuse, etc.;

a Survivors of Assualt forum, with threads for sexual assualt, physical assualt, etc.;

a Survivors of Crime forum, with threads for rape, robbery, burglary, etc.;

(I know some of these exist now, but what about this organization?)

Of course, individuals could post new threads in any of these, whereever they think it fits best...

and WHY all the fussing about formats? Aren't we here to help each other?

Peace!

Then why cant survivors of abuse post there to then?

I am not going to continually justify my ideas.
Childhood abuse is not a violent crime. It is one of coercion and deceit.
Rape is not, It is forcefully done.

Does that help you understand any better ??
I will not do this again.



Edited to add: I wanted to apologize if I seemed rude or abrupt earlier.
I did not mean to appear so.
