1. Please respect the views of others, even if you think their wrong.
I don’t discriminate regardless of race, age, gender, sexual orientation, beliefs, social status, or in any other way.
2. Please be sensitive to their feelings even if they hurt yours.Comparing my suggestion to what happened to African-Americans really bothers me and hurts to think someone could even think I’d be so cruel. I’m part Cherokee, so I hope you understand what I mean.
3. Please don’t jump to conclusions about others or their experiences.In my opinion, you were jumping to conclusions for the fact you didn’t bother to even ask what I meant, or even phrase it as a question, you just came to the conclusion I was trying to ‘get rid’ of Lou, when in fact that isn’t the case at all.
Why not have a religious/spiritual board? There is more than one person on this site who refers to their faith regardless of being public or private about their faith. Why not add a place for those people to get together and have that ability while allowing those who don't want to participate the option of not utilizing it?
I'm offended that you make a racial discrimination/segregation reference to something that I authored for the fact you have no idea what race, religion, age and perhaps gender that I am-so please don't assume things about me that you don’t know.
4. Please don’t post anything that others could take accusatory.This comment felt accusing to me and I’d appreciate it if in the future you wouldn’t make these kinds of statements. I’m not discriminatory towards anyone. If you’d like to know something about me, please ask.
5. Please don’t exaggerate or over-generalize.I feel as if this is an over-generalization in the largest sense of the word. It’s like you have lumped me in with the KKK or whomever to make a point from a statement that wasn’t even there in the first place.
There are several boards on this website, categorized for CONTENT, not trying to shove them out the door. I thought it would be rather nice to have one like this. Other people have made references to reading their Bible and helped them through depression and were given the 3rd degree for it. Why not have a place where they may speak of it freely without repercussion?
6. It’s fine to give others feedback as long as it’s constructive.Please let me know if I've taken this statement wrong and there is something constructive that I have missed.
