Other than the one person who requested we not quote her I'm not sure I've seen anyone else asking for the same odd request....I think the majority of people here DO realize it is their own responsibility to own what they post and when they do it.

If you wouldn't scream it at the top of your lungs in middle of a crowded mall, then you probably shouldn't be posting it online. Period.

I always feel like the handslaps and the pleas to "be nice" are a subtle form of censorship...you can't say that because it's not nice. I feel like it's a not-so-subtle form of perceived superiority.

But unfortunately, it's true, and anyone who has read more than a thread or two on the old NSBR should realize that. So think before you post, and say your piece with the understanding that not everyone on the board will join hands and sing Kumbayah! I was a 2Peas lurker for over 10 years, I've jumped in here and now have over 300 posts which amazes me, but I fully expect an occasional handslap or outright disagreement. It's still the NSBR, peaple, and I'm glad that it's been resurrected!

I always feel like the handslaps and the pleas to "be nice" are a subtle form of censorship...you can't say that because it's not nice. (use of generic "you" in following paragraph): If you're going to call those actions censorship, then you sort of have to call any request for people to post in a different manner censorship. A request for people not to make "handslaps" or "be nice" statements could also be considered a form of censorship, since you want people to stop what they're doing because you don't like it and do something different. (Dulcemama, I realize you were just sharing your thoughts about your feelings and not asking anyone not to post something.)Anyway, I don't think any request made by a fellow Pea is technically censorship, since that person is in no position of authority to do anything about it. Only admins can really force any issues of censorship. There are also instances where censorship is a good thing. For example, we don't want p*rn posted on the board (whether because some people don't want to see it or because of the sorts of people it might attract), or people's home addresses or phone numbers, for instance. As an admin, there are many things you might want to censor (other word: have policies that say it's not allowed) to maintain the overall general health of an online community. What those things are vary from community to community.

Sometimes censorship, sometimes superiority, I guess. Me? I do it because I think the person should stop being such a dick.

And lets add this one, because I see it SO MUCH - Yes, according to the 1st amendment you have a right to free speech (interpretation of that is a whole other post), HOWEVER, everyone ELSE has the right to tell you that you are full of shit, as well. So remember, Freedom of Speech does NOT equal Freedom from dealing with the consequences of what you said. Kthanxbai Bingo. I'm sick of hearing people bitch about their first amendment right when they get a negative response from the general public for what flows out of their mouth. But I think those that shout about their first amendment right being oppressed are doing it to be loudmouth assholes, full of faux outrage.

You know, I struggle with this. I have written posts that after reading sound way harsher or more ... pretentious? condescending? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings but tone is not conveyed in a venue like a message board. Not to change the subject but this is the first time I have seen this one. anxiousmom RefuPea Fixture 754 Posts

Yep, and if you put all your thoughts, opinions and actions on here for us all to read...guess what? I'm going to have an opinion about it and I am going to express that opinion when and if I feel like it. I will also feel free to speculate about what else may or may not be happening in your life. And here's another shocker (brace yourself)- not all of it will be positive. Those of you who feel motivated to handslap and post "if you can't say anything nice...." or "if you don't like it just move on..." feel free to take your own advice, because it won't change a thing for me. This isn't the little bubble of like minded people you surround yourself with in your real life who will never tell you your ideas are crazy, or that you are acting like an immature teenager or that you are in fact - wrong - about something. This is a message board and there are women from all over the world here and you'll get some positive and some negative responses. Not prepared for that? Then stop posting every thought the second it enters your head.Except sharlag... she can continue to post every thought that enters her head. LOL!

For those who don't know what's going on Benem deleted all her posts and asked people not to quote anything she said because she might have to delete more and you can't delete stuff people quote because she said she was being stalked on the internet and was scared. I don't know how to do a link to a thread but it started with one that said "Hello" as the thread title I think.
