Hi, elsizzle. Once a thread has engaged -- that is, people have responded and discussion has begun -- the forum policy is accept what is; we don't delete what folks have expressed unless it's damaging, combative, or aggressively offensive, normally. The problem with doing so is that we wouldn't just be censoring you at your request, we would also be censoring the expression of the other people who have responded and are working out their own issues, "out loud."
Elsizzle, the thread had lain dormant for a couple of weeks and yet has been haunting you. Since we're a personal development forum here, why not take your feelings as an opportunity to deal directly with something that is causing you suffering? We are all on your side; we want for you the same things we want for ourselves -- things like joy, freedom, relatedness -- and we are rooting for you. Wiping the slate clean of what you've expressed won't wipe your life clean of your concerns. Why not use this space for cleaning up what's calling you to be cleaned up? It might be that you need to become clear, apologize, or absorb a new viewpoint; or it might mean that you would be wise to accept the reality of the situation, acknowledge it, and let it go. Meanwhile, you're carrying something around that you don't need in creating a life you love -- how can we help you to transform or surrender it without denying reality?
Please feel free to pm me or any other moderator if you'd like to work things out more privately.
Thanks, lots of love, and best wishes to you,
Angela
