> I simply wanted to state before I left, my opinion on the decision (or perhaps idea) of segregating the Babble community.
Thanks for your feedback. But how would it be segregation?
> Maybe try validating their trust and sense of belonging by giving their opinion a bit more weight than it appears you have. I say appears, because only you know how much consideration you have given the wishes of your community.
I'm sorry if I've made people feel their opinions don't matter. I do think it's possible to care about someone's opinion but disagree with it...
Also, the opinions that have been voiced are of course those of people who feel comfortable enough to jump in. Their opinions do matter, but I'm also trying to think about those who don't feel as comfortable.
> Just because you can see every post here, does not mean you can see every discussion. Many people, such as myself, would not speak about certain personal things in front of 20 members, or 100. The number doesn't matter. The trust matters.
I know that lots goes on behind the scenes. The more ways to connect, the better. This would be another way. Also, for some people, for some subjects, the number may influence the degree of trust.
