Hey guys
Thanks for your latest comments (and further info). With regards to Rita, as Lena said, I did not strike her for her interaction with Mike, as I felt this was just something to bring to her attention rather than take any further action, but for her general engagement on the forum. I noticed that after I locked the post initially to state we would be reviewing the interaction, she started panicking about any feedback that may come her way and went on a bit of a posting splurge of addiction which led her to create those two posts in the jealousy thread and that one in the intro section where she seems to be sticking up for you Eloisa. I felt this was not necessary on both Mike & Rita's part due to the terms of use that states if a member feels another person is breaching the agreement, that they come to us directly rather than getting involved with them. Both Mike & Rita engaged with the guy and he reacted to it in a negative way and it made the situation worse.
What I noticed was that in Rita's subsequent posts since I locked the thread with Mike, she only posted on threads where both you guys OR one of you were directly involved in, and it felt as though she was being overtly "nice" for an addictive reason (which I felt was to try and influence you in your feeling process of her earlier interaction with Mike).
Over the months, I have noticed that Rita tends to sign into the forum quite frequently yet withdraws from posting (which is OK, but kinda suggests she is avoiding some stuff). After feeling that something was off with these recent posts, I took a logical approach and investigated further by looking at the statistics on her profile, which says she makes 0.18% posts on the forum per day since she signed up. However, in relation to this situation, she wrote 4 posts in one day which is a substantially higher post rate than she normally engages in thus kind of confirming what I felt from her initially (compulsion).
I then looked back to what I shared with her a few months ago and where I felt she was in addiction, and saw that she first responded in facade by stating that she is not aware of the addictions, which kinda led me to feel she is not really that open to hearing feedback or self reflecting. I then felt as though she was doing the same again here in avoidance of her emotions in another facade kinda way.
Thanks about your feelings concerning Mike. After reflecting more, I can see why an amber strike may be appropriate to issue to him for his anger towards Rita. I also did provide him with some previous feedback about addictions with women, so I do feel one of the reasons why I didn't strike him yesterday was because of a potential fear of him going off the handle with myself. I will feel some more about it and issue the strike if I more certain and if so, will explain to others my delay. I am trying to be as prompt as possible with my admin actions, which I am finding quite tricky whilst feeling through my stuff at the same time (as I find this usually takes me a good couple of days). I think the stuff that I have said to Mike constitutes much of what I felt the issues were, it appears the only thing now is to just create the strike thread and link people to my response to him.
So in summary, Rita has been striked for her general additive/facade based behaviour (not the interaction with Mike) and Mike potentially should be issued with an amber strike for his angry reaction to Rita.
Anyway, yea guys if you have anything more to add, please do.
PS So awesome that one of the other reincarnated guys may visit the forum sometime in the future, I'd really LOVE to meet them all properly one day, just to say thank you more than anything...it's a huge desire of mine
Cheers
