    There is a thread on the ladies lounge which has gotten a bit heated. This I dont mind.

    But I find it disturbing that there is no prohibition on attacking the poster's mental health for their viewpoint. I think this constitutes abuse, and far more than the name calling that will get someone banned here.

    Consistently the OP's been told she has issues, distorted thinking, someone referred to something she said as "off the wall" and it continues throughout.

    Please tell me why this is ok? Because it seems very wrong to me.

    I think you should link the thread and posts where abuse has in your opinion occured. Have you used the report post function in the thread to bring up your concerns?

    Have you pm'd the forum mods about this or reported any posts you feel are abusive?

    No I didnt. I suppose I should have. I dont really have all afternoon to go through them all and multiquote here. I'll go back and report.

    The thread discussed is being very carefully watch by the mods and last the op knows how to report posts if she feels them inappropriate.
