> Basically these boards are like rooms. Usually we get to run around, in and out or whichever room we want. Now you guys have gone and locked the door to one and we're all standing outside banging our heads up against it. We don't particualry want to go in your room, we just want the door to be unlocked.
If you don't want to go in, does it matter if the door is locked?
> Just providing a room that we can lock ourselves in doesn't really solve it.
Why not?
> If you guys don't mind all of us on the other side of the door, we'll probably get tired and go to our own room to bitch. :)
I guess that would be one way of supporting each other, but I'd rather have these new boards come together in a more positive way. I guess that's civility again...
> The issue is that the boundary exists, not what's on the other side. Get it? I have no interest in a reunion board, but I am interested in the concept of exclusiveness, or separateness or no tresspassing and how it relates to a support group.
Think about the people inside the boundary, not the people outside. Sometimes it's nice to be with those you've shared experiences with. But including just them means excluding others.
