I see Show Me Love has been banned, I suppose this was inevitable. I was about to post something on the thread of SML's most recent angry outburst when the thread was locked. It's not particularly relevant here but as SML said amongst other things "i can't fucking understand what the hell i'm doing here" it has a tangential relevance, so for what it's worth I'll post the gist of it here:

I was also initially annoyed by SML's incontinent angry outbursts, especially when they are abusive and directed personally at other bms which is totally out of order.
However it seems to me it's likely that the intensity of SML's anger must stem from personal experience and a predicament associated in some way with transsexuality. In a few other posts SML has made relevant points even if somewhat confused and confusing, and also alluded to severe mood swings. I don't think this is someone who came on the forum to be abusive because they got a perverse satisfaction out of that, nor that it is someone with a bigoted agenda who knows nothing of what they were talking about. I get the impression of someone quite disturbed and unable to help themself which is a shame. It's hazardous to analyize someone's choice of moniker (one person's playful irony could be another's deepest truth) but it seems there might be something desperate about using "Show Me Love".

I appreciate that the tone on this forum (in comparison to some others) is civil and generally amicable, and that's worth maintaining. I'm sure that SML received warnings and had tried the patience of the moderator. Also I realise TLB is not a social service,but I feel it's a bit of a shame that the forum couldn't be a place for SML, maybe there was an interesting story to tell.
