Kinder, Gentler Board...

I've been seeing this phrase used in posts and I just wanted to clarify something (since I am probably one of the ones that is responsible for starting it all)...


I know we had a bit of an "issue" with some abusive posts... This does not mean that we now want the board to become stifled or restrictive in any way, shape or form. While we cannot defend any person who will abuse, belittle or make fun of a poster's issues, that does NOT mean you should bite your tongues to the point of not saying what you think.


Please, say what you mean and mean what you say. Do not bite your tongue or hold your thoughts. The beauty of this board is in its honesty. Just do all of it without being abusive. Personally, I do not want anyone to leave the board because they feel they cannot be heard. And I'm sure we all are in agreement on this. :)


I opened this post to your comments, concerns or questions so please feel free to reply.

I am confused! I think this board is pretty kind and gentle, while putting things honestly. There has yet to be anything that offends me, hopefully I haven't offended anybody.

Me too.

I started a post, but I'm sure the iVillage police don't want to hear what I have to say.

That's probably good enough for a warning.

It's pointless.

DELETE – Hopefully a few have benefited now I’m taking it down to make sure I’m not violating the terms.

Feel free to email me directly if want.

If you feel that way, I respect that. However, I never think anything is pointless...

Yep, that was why I deleted my post too. I've been around long enough to know that you can't critique the powers that be (even in a way you intend to be constructive) without getting slapped for it ;-).
