Last night I saw a video that kinda sent me over the edge. Leave us say that it made me sick to my core. I posted about it, not thinking about how much the topic was leaving me in an emotional place.

this thread for two reasons:
1) I screwed up in a big way because I wasn't fresh on the rules and I wasn't thinking when I was posting. I take full responsibility for that. I'm very sorry and will make every effort in the future to ensure that I post responsibly.
2) Don't make the same mistake I made. Don't post when you're really pissed, and bear the rules in mind at all times. I'm hoping some good can come of my mistake in that people will read this and check out the rules if they're rusty or simply are more mindful.
Thanks for reading, and feel free to discuss.
