Insult (literally) is added to the injury of the new exclusionary 2000 board by the message which appears when an OUTSIDER tries to post there. For kicks and grimaces I tried to post a test message there after reading on here that as an OUTSIDER I would be REJECTED, and I could not believe the wording of the rejection message! It is downright INSULTING. It says (and I have copied/pasted directly here): Sorry, but this board is restricted and you don't seem to have permission to post to it. If you think you should, please email me.
Excuse me, but PERMISSION? You don't seem to have PERMISSION to post to it? What's with PERMISSION - kindergardeners need PERMISSION slips to go on field trips. Geez.
If there's gotta be this exclusionary board, the very LEAST that could have been done should have been more sensitive, more politically correct wording of the rejection message, i.e., something along the lines of "this site does not seem to be AVAILABLE to you ..." (the rest is fine)
But to tell people they don't have PERMISSION to post there is, as I said above INSULTING. jmho.
