Re: Blog forum etiquette needed

SeekingEuros, it was nice to talk to you at church this am. I have not posted or read the blog in quite a while (i had to recreate a password, as we deleted blog connection) due to the rampant misbehavior. Certain posters (two whose names start with a J) are modern day electronic bullies, as their posts here and elsewhere are evidence of that behavior. Just because you can inject your opinion does not mean you should. TR, there were a dozen people who joined this mornings conversation at church and only one was still using Blog. When bullies join an e-conversation, MANY are unwilling to post. Sadly, last i read the blog, it had spread to the comments on the news page, which is why we quit. The bullies that derail is why SeekingEuro threw up his hands, as he has been unable to get the info he is seeking, as the bullies turn off serious posts. Yes i dont have to read them, but many wont post – what seems the purpose of the bullies.

We like the suggestion of a safe place, where the blog bans bullies or off topic injections. Leave the forum as it is and let the bullies duke it out amongst themselves. TR we have met and have talked about this issue, so i know you have had complaints about this behavior, which you appear to condone. Maybe also limit the number of daily posts, as some seem to comment on everything.

The wife reference was totally offensive – Those that don’t think the “its a wife” (that seekingeuros got in another comment category) are living in the 1950s… Join us, its 2014.
