What should I do in this situation

March 28, 2015 4:34 AM

I have a situation which I do not feel completely safe to talk about. There is a particular site that has edited my posts to make it look like I am a crazy person. I am unable to say what I mean to people who I wish to communicate to because of this. what should I do? How do I communicate to people on a site where my posts are edited by other people?

There's not a lot of information to go on here, but is there any reason that you can't direct people on that site to your own blog, and then stop posting on the moderated website?

Response by poster: well, how would I communicate with the people on the site in question that I didn't say those things? That the editors of the site edit peoples posts and make it look like they are crazy?

Identify the people who are on your side. Message them privately to inform them of the situation, then get off that site.

Delete your account and all your posts from that site? If the moderators there are doing that, then that's officially ¡¡drama!!, and you should shun that place.

Response by poster: What about the people on that site who don't know that opinion is being shaped by the moderators in this way?

You direct them to your blog and explain the situation there.

If the moderators are making sane people look insane by editing their posts, maybe they're also editing crazy posts to look sane.
