In reply to Tina - a question for you!, posted by Janelle on April 24, 2002, at 3:06:35
Sorry to have to make yet another thread to you - I'm a bit disorganized at this time. Sorry.
Anyway, you had asked at one point "Why is this such a big deal?"
I'd like to offer my perspective (jmvho) which is simply that the issue (as I see it) is that the new boards literally BLOCK people, PREVENT people from posting on them, whereas the social board you had referred to does not. The social board is ACCESSIBLE to EVERYONE. It does NOT BLOCK or PREVENT anyone from posting on it.
If a person does not wish to post on the social board and therefore does not, this is THEIR CHOICE, it's VOLUNTARY. However, being blocked from posting on the new boards is NOT a person's choice; it's NOT voluntary.
It is this difference which bothers me, plain and simple!
