gg,
The statement in question is an I-statement that could need some revision, I agree.
In an I-ststament, let us look at the FAQ as it gives an example that is an I-statement."When I miss out on seeing you I feel hurt and what I'd like is to have contact with you when you are out of town."
So looking at the statement in question,
[...The aspect of that statements here...have a great effect on my being a member here and cause me great sorrow...].Using the example in the FAQ the, one way the rephrasing could be is;
[...When I see those statements here, {I feel sorrow}...] rather than cause sorrow.
My apology and I appreciate your concern to use I-statements and agree with you that this is a good thing topoint out here
Best regards,
Lou
