Opal, our friend and community member has been suffering many problems surrounding wje. First off, her mom discovered this site, and felt she needed to 'protect' her from it, and in the process, made a huge split between them. Over the period of Opal not being able to be on, her mom has verbally abused her, assuming that many accounts, including Leo, Ingenious and a large assortment of others, despite obvious evidence against it.

Of course, her mom has every right to take Opal off the site. This site, like many other social media sites can impact people negatively. But there is no reason for Opal's mom to refer to her as racial slurs, denounce organized religions, (Opal feels a connection to Judaism and its community.) I will not jump to further conclusions in this, but this was a testimony given to one of her close irl friends, which was then given to me.

(And of course, she called me an Idiot, among other things). Opal's mom, if you see this, I want to ask you a question. Do the actions of a person define a community, or is it the way that the community cherishes itself that defines it? A community is many things, intertwined together to create a structure that can only be understood if you open your eyes to it. Just because of a few bad things that are happening within or around the community does not make that community as a whole a horrible thing.

Opal is part of our community, and despite the mistakes in her past, she is still like a keystone to our community. She was one of my first friends that I gained on this site. She has supported me through many conflicts that have ripped this site apart. She does not deserve to be abused so verbally or monitored like someone beneath human. I have one more question for you: Is it not the point of a parent to cherish and guide their child through life? Please ponder upon this question if you want to secure a true, loving relationship with your daughter.
