> Lost in all the discussion about how to deal with an irksome poster is this apparent offer to renew supervision of his website by Bob if we attempt to be supportive. I think there are significantly more examples of kindness, support and reassurance on Babble than hurtful, disrespectful and uncivil posts. So do we need to change, Bob, for you to show more of a presence here?Toph,
You wrote,[...do we need to change?...(as a condition for Mr Hsiung (to show more presence here).
The condition by Mr Hsiung is that members (reassure other posters)
I am unsure as to what you are wanting readers to think when they read that. If you could post answers to the following, then I could respond accordingly.
A. Do members know what they are to be posting that constitutes (reassuring)?
B. If they do, what are they to be reassuring about?
C. Which posters need to be reassured?
D. Could Mr Hsiung's condition to members here in question mean if there is posted a warning to a poster that a drug could be addictive, would you think that Mr Hsiung's condition to members means to assure the poster that is being warned that the drug is not addicting?
E. If because a post that contains statements that could arouse anti-Semitic feelings is posted and another member objects, could it be thought that Mr Hsiung's condition here could mean that other members post that the anti-Semitic statement is OK to post and reassure the poster of the statement that it is OK here?
F. If there is a condition to the members to have Mr Hsiung not wait as one match could start a forest fire, then any victims of the fire are to be blamed because they could be in the class of members that did not do the condition that Mr Hsiung states here, after the fact by the way?
