[identity profile] vinik.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] multiplicity_archives
Hey guys!

We were just wondering what happened to the 'Positive Plural Survivor Community' idea that [livejournal.com profile] standingstone was posting about earlier? It's been a month, and since this post we haven't heard any updates on the concept. Is [livejournal.com profile] standingstone still planning on founding a community? Has there been any changes to the proposal for it? We really think it's important that a group like this is founded for those that need it in the multiple community.

Thanks,

David and co.

Maybe they figured there wasn't enough demand? Or that it would be too complicated to make everyone happy.

Then those people should have commented? If only a small handful of people comment/speak up, then standingstone aren't to know there's enough demand to warrent setting up a community :P There are a lot of communities around already, it'd be perfectly reasonable to want more than a couple of "I'd join" comments before making it.

it dosent matter if only a couple people wanna join. you dont need 1000 people to have a community. you can have 5 people. and then later on some other people join when they see what the community is like

If you think it doesn't matter, you are free to make it. I'm saying that to a lot of people it does matter. I know I wouldn't make a community for only a couple of people *shrug* that's just me.

they're not obliged to make it just because a couple of people said they'd *join* :P If other people feel passionately, I'm sure they're free to take up the idea.

i just meant if someone asks here its cos they wanna make it, so if only a few people are interested at first i think they should make it anyway because more people will join later. i bet multiplicity only had a few people in the first couple days it was a community.

there not obligated no, but if they want to make it they shouldnt not do it just cos there isnt gonna be 100 people yet.

so far theres 29 people who said yes. thats a lot of people. i think its enuf to be active. 15 said yes theyd join and i bet if the 15 were active then some of the 16 maybes would join to. and other people who didnt see the post who found the community somewhere else.

but i dont wanna make it cos i dont realy know how to do it and i think it would be hard to make a community and i dont know what rules to make or how to make people obey and if its your community you probally have to read everything and i dont like reading scary stuff all the time, stuff that makes me remember. sometimes its ok and mom says doing it a little bit at a time will make me heal. but if it were my community id have to read stuff not a little bit at a time but a lot at a time.

What exactly was wrong?

I saw discussion regarding that some didn't want a community that was completely *anti* psychology, I wasn't sure what came from it.

(and before anyone makes any asumptions I am not saying integration is wrong if it happens.I just dont think multiples should be working on it. It's like the difference between a gay person trying to be hterosexual because they feel they "should" and them sundenly falling in love with a member of the opposite sex out of the blue)

but if you wanted a gay frendly community you would want it free of "you should become straight cos its a sin" but you wouldnt want it "anti heterosexual". you can make a community thats not anti gay without making it anti hetero. so you can make a community that says some people do it this way some people do it that way some therapists are good some therapists are bad. thats what i think. it could be neither anti integration nor pro integration. you could say this comm isnt about integration so if its good for you good if its not good for you good but you can talk about that somewhere else cos this is a ptsd place.

Well, I guess some people might view being anti-integration as just as bad. Possibley a gripe there would be that somebody might like the idea of your community, but have a goal in mind, for themselves, of integration. They may not wish to go to another potentially demeaning community just because they think integration would work for them.

Just throwing stuff out there.

I probably couldn't join because 'typical' trauma induced systems aren't people I can even vaguely relate to, much as I'd like to work out my own issues.

By typical I wasn't meaning whiners, but fair enough. Our memory is dodgy as hell, I couldn't remember if it was for 'positive' trauma systems, or what.

Personally I find that some of the normal trauma communities are ok. Slowish (so I'd wonder about the traffic an even more specialised comm would get), but fine. [livejournal.com profile] p_t_s_d accepted me happily, multiplicity and all. They're not geared towards my situation (my trauma didn't happen here), but they've not rejected me at all.

A "need" for such a community, we're not so sure we would phrase it that way; but if you ask if we think there are people on LJ who would be interested in participating in such a community, yes.
