Ground Rules
Somebody:
Hi and good morning Portia.
I didn't read the stuff in that "link" you just inserted before my first post (still haven't, I admit. Just posting back to you and then I must be off or my day will be fairly backed up).
I just posted without reading much at all, that first time, and I did say so in that original post.
Maybe the idea of having rules is a silly one. There's no way to enforce such a thing. The doc is always there to step in, as you have pointed out, anyway, isn't he?
It was just a hypothetical question and one I am interested in hearing ideas about (thankyou for yours too).
I agree, it would be tricky to even decide upon basic rules of conduct.
Our law makers must have had a really tough job and I'm sure the laws evolved over a very long time (shouldn't say I'm sure because I don't know the history- I suspect is better).
I think you're right about making the information clear and available but I also think, people will do exactly as they want. Read it or not.
I'm not sure I agree with your comment about people working things out between them in this case. I say that because of the HUGC thing you are experiencing, at least as it appears, and it seems to me that that hasn't been worked out yet. I also wonder why it hasn't? Is it because there is no way to stop such behaviour on this board or is it because the request has not been made? Why haven't you asked the doc to intervene (just curious)??
I don't think you're ducking the question, P, and I appreciate you appreciating the thoughtfulness. Thankyou. "Try our hardest" would be good, but what happens when we fail?
No spanking?? (just kidding, really I am P). No consequence? If so, then why write the rules, you're right.
I don't think any of us should ever feel "safe" on any thread from now on. Not after all is said and done. Sorry Peanut. No insult intended but there is no safety here and there never will be until multiple posting-by-one-person-under-several-names can be dealt with. Sorry for that Peanut. It's not fair.
The disrespect thing, well, the best we can probably do is as you say, P,
Ask people to try their hardest.
I will add, point out to them when they have not succeeded in doing that, as another possibilty.
Have a great day all!

I think the board already has a baseline of how to behave. There are a couple of threads that are ugly so I don't read them. If people would stop reading them and stop responding to idiots, the threads would die. Otherwise this board seems very respectful. One also has the option of leaving the board and finding greener pastures.

Discounted Girl:
it all depends on what you are looking for, need and want, but my vote says this board "ain't what it used to be." It is too jumbled and chaotic now. I used to feel really connected but that feeling is now gone, maybe it's just me. I'm used to being discounted and overlooked. arrrggghhh ... :?

Hi
As a newbie Ive logged on as a guest. Either because ive forgotten to log in correctly and I dont have the power to change my posts and secondly because ive used the guest to post things personal to me that I want to talk about more privately.
I think it is about how people use the guest option and not the option itself.

Maybe it should be harder to log on as a guest and easier to log on in your own name.
Im logging out now to log in as me. Do you think maybe im having a problem with myself image. HA HA
