MNHQ are following guidelines by deleting posts and banning posters. Their site, their choices. However, with regards to the other site, it’s tough, I’m afraid. These days, many people put themselves ‘out there’ on the internet in the way of forums, blogs and YouTube videos etc. By doing that, you are opening yourself up to comments and criticism. I have complex health problems and a friend suggsted I start a blog but I’m shy and I couldn’t handle any type of negative feedback. I can’t handle the heat, so I stay out of the kitchen. If you court online attention, there is always a risk of backlash. People need to keep safe online, look after their emotional well-being and to stop posting if it upsets them.
@Seafour I wish you all the best, I really do. If you want to keep things more private, I know there are sites where you can make private blogs and only invite those who you know and trust. Take care.
