  This confirms, for me, my initial opinion that the moderation currently in place is sufficient.

  I also appreciate the public posting of what is considered an example of harrassment.

Those are great thoughts reallyMe and you've been such an role model of what you speak of this past week too.  You are really walking your walk.  I also agree with cat's paw - I appreciate the public posting.

Ty for posting that so we could all see.  Being a moderator on a board, I know first hand dealing with all kinds of people.  I would have some people I did have to ban myself.  You always have to have that one, or a handful on any board.

Dear Richard,

Thank you for the time and caring you have put into this board. It has saved my life.

There have been occasional obnoxious posts and they are generally handled beautifully by ignoring them. The offensive poster loses interest.  Conflicts between posters are inevitable, just as in life.  The old soldiers here are good guides through this territory. There is no way to make this place or to set it to music either.  What I do like is the way that the mudslinging goes on for awhile and then it is dealt with by the posters.

Conflict can teach us so much. About projection, about fear, about prejudice, competition etc.  So now after a year and a half, when I see conflict erupting I detach and watch the process.  This may sound arrogant, but it is hard won for me.  Everyone is welcome but no one is in control.   We just deal with it as a group and this is a very healthy society of friends indeed.


Lots of love,

Sea storm

Hi, Certain Hope--

Thanks for telling me.  Harassment is not permitted on the board.  Let me know if it happens again, and you would like me to do something about it.

Best,

Richard



Hi all,

I am so glad to have read this thread, now, (as I was away from the board at this time, last Sept'07)

The above is what I would expect as it is clearly in line with the Board Membership agreement, which each person joining the board is required to tick in acceptance and agreement, and of which, I myself agreed to, in good faith:

Quote

You agree, through your use of this forum, that you will not post any material which is false, defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing,

obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy




Not my truth - but the truth

of the difference between a conflict - and blatant abusive behavior.

Respectfully,

Love, Leah



EDIT  >   All of this is CURRENT

Hi, Dr. Grossman,

I trust that if you think that anyone here on the board is engaging in harassment, you will let us know by speaking directly,

and not via a quote from a 9-month old post.

Thanks for keeping this place open and available... and for your help back in September of 2007, when I didn't know what else to do.
Now I do know... and I'm grateful to you always, for the opportunity to learn and to practice and to grow.

Sincerely,
Carolyn

 All of this is CURRENT  -   I have just read again, and all of the agreement is exactly the same as of todays date at this moment in time.

Hi Besee-

I don't know what you are asking- I think that you posted today about a snippet of something from almost a year ago- is that so? (if not, I am sorry for the mistake)

Anyway, the answer to your question is no.

Peace,

Changing

Regarding the Board Ruling:   (which I accept as a member)

Dr Grossman explained and highlighted on the board that when a person creates and issues a No Contact Order:

The Ruling is that the recipient PERSON of that order CANNOT post onto any Thread created by the board member who enforced the No Contact Order

and also, the recipient CANNOT make direct reference to the PERSON anywhere on any other thread, at any time - to the member who enforced the NO Contact Order

Likewise, Dr Grossman has made it clear that the person who creates and enforces a No Contact Order ... CANNOT make any reference to the recipient PERSON in his/her postings.




NOTE:   Today, I ask the question?   What happens if either person types the exact same words and/or uses the same phrase, quotation, article, website reference etc.  ??

Does that in effect render the person in Breach of No Contact ruling?


I don't consider it is a breach of no contact ruling to simply type the same words, as I understand, in particular, on a public forum with no copyright rules.
