Dreamer,
Since the search function was not in order, I went on my memory to recall that post. I believe that the poster wanted to have the policy changed, and said something like [...would the policy be opened to change, or subject to chamge .] Either way, it is possible for one to think that Dr. Bob's remark, [...I ain't that broke, or it ain't that broke...] is a remark that could be seen as ridiculing the poster by taking his words and using the word,[broke], when the poster used the word, [change]. So although the wording may be different, one could interpret it the same way. But still, I think that it would be better for the moderator to not use expressions that could lead a poster to feel put down, particulary when the poster is in a mental-health board and the moderator that made the remark is a psychiatrist. And if we look at your interepretation, there could still be the implication that what the poster wrote had no value, [...it ain't that broke, or I ain't that broke..]. The poster was being responsive to the function of the admin. board to write about inproving the board. His post was concerning opening the policy to [change]. I feel that an answer like Dr. Bob's demeans the poster and puts the poster down because it could be construed that Dr. Bob is demaning the concerns of the poster by writing[..it ain't that broke, or I ain't that broke...], when the poster wrote,[...would the policy be opened to change, or subject to change...]. I feel that it would be better for the community as a whole that the moderator of this mental health board give a sincere request a sincere reply.
