> Several times, I believe I am hearing you say that it is tough to keep going as a constant administrator of this site. What could we do together to help make it interesting and rewarding for you, as well as safe and welcoming for us so that more of us will post in a personal and trusting manner the way we used to?
Maybe each and every one of us can do that which we have most control over... Mind / moderate our own behavior.
If a poster comes and finds one post that they view is negative or harmful or whatever...
Then if every other post is supportive...
Well...
I personally think I'd have more respect for the site if that were to happen instead of
1) A moderator stepping in
or
2) The community turning on the poster who posted what was viewed as negative or harmful.
But maybe that is just me.
I thought the whole idea was for this site to be about providing positive support. Focusing on the negative... Takes time and energy away from the positive, yeah?
Bob spending his energy on attempting to moderate / curb the negative... Takes time away from enjoying the positive, yeah?
