What is happening to our community?

What has happened to this wonderful community I joined over one year ago so I could be supported and give support?
What has happened to the friendly ethos, and nurturing tone?
What has happened to this place where everyone can express themselves without fear of judgement or retribution?
What has happened to the understanding offered to those suffering so much pain?
What has happened to the reassurance and comfort that EVERYONE used to be able to find here?
I don't want to take sides in this battle that seems to be going on. I don't know the circumstances, and I am not sure if I want to.
The basic point of this community USED to be that:
We are all in the same boat.
We all feel lost and adrift sometimes. We all feel cut off from our lives and family and friends. Sometimes we feel spiteful (not that we should ever feel it is OK to take that out on others), sometimes we feel loving. Sometimes we feel the need to hurt others or ourselves to express the emotional confusion we may be feeling. Sometimes we say dumb things, sometimes we can offer a profound gem that may illuminate the lives of many of our friends here.
I feel genuinely saddened that this community is becoming a place where judgement and hate are allowed to exist.
It just shouldn't be...
Love and light to all
Jo
