I wasn't hurt by Herman's suggestion, but I was concerned that it might be off putting to potential contributors to the board. This concern increased as it sat there like a huge pimple throughout the day.
It was just Sunday that I was cut off abruptly in midsentence--Confirm Your Post--for something that had to do with medication, had I been allowed to continue. I realize I ramble like the Snake River, but still, how come HermanMunster got to sit all day and sometimes we are redirected or cut off immediately?
Also, as I remember her message, while I knew Kat was referring to an inappropriate post, she was talking about an abstract notion--how to deal with a child who isn't conforming to accepted norms--so in my opinion, she wasn't calling the poster names.
Do you agree that it's best to ignore this kind of post--pretend it didn't happen? Since we all knew it had and it felt malicious in intent, I truly didn't know what to do. (Either malicious or from a troubled person, especially after reading the post that gardengirl was chastened for responding to.) Referring it to administration didn't cross my Topamaxed out mind.
