In reply to Re: Please be civil » LLL, posted by Dinah on August 21, 2002, at 17:14:21> I don't consider anything I said to be "uncivil". However, I do find it offensive that someone with whom I've no contact (although I posted a question weeks ago) is on this board interested in peddling his/her wares, under the guise of "caring". Give me a break!

Different points of view are fine, and in fact encouraged, but your freedom of speech is limited here. It can be therapeutic to express yourself, but this isn't necessarily the place.

> >Please don't be sarcastic, joke about death or suicide, suggest that others harm themselves or others, jump to conclusions about others or their experiences, post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, pressure others, use language that could offend others, exaggerate or overgeneralize -- et cetera.

> Perhaps I should have said, please don't jump to conclusions about others, rather than please be civil, but in general, I suppose it's a please abide by the rules of the site. :) (Please bear with me, I'm new at this.)

In reply to Re: Please be civil » LLL, posted by Dinah on August 21, 2002, at 18:27:12> I read your message the first time. Again, nothing I said was "uncivil" or fits into your comment of "jumping to conclusions". I was a recipient of a "form" e-mail (that was also sent to others) asking "where you been - you OK?" from someone I've never had contact with and who just happens to be on the board touting his merchandise. THAT is offensive. If you want to comment on what is being said then maybe take another look at how this board is being used by someone who is not here for help.
