Sometimes A requests B not post to them because A doesn't want B to post about a certain issue anymore.

So what is B to do???

The fact that A doesn't want B to talk about an issue is a factor, yes.
But should B have to drop an issue because A doesn't want B to talk about it anymore?

I don't think so.
Especially if B isn't being uncivil.
A can always stop reading.
Secure in the knowledge that B isn't adressing posts to them.
B can't make A continue to read.

So...

Should A stop reading
Or should B have to shut up?

All I know...
Is that those kind of requests tend to produce a 'f*ck that I'll continue just to spite you' kind of response.
I'm not proud of that...
But there it is.

I've been forced to silence too much of my life.
And it brings that up for me.

That being said
I won't take it (too) personally if people want to go back through the thread and request civility determination.

If I did something wrong I would appreciate the opportunity to learn from that.

I am struggling with what to take from that situatuation.

I wondered if I was losing the purpose of the boards. If I get too caught up in admin at the expense of support. I wondered that admin being one of my favourite boards attested to the fact that I am too caught up in discussing issues rather than support.

I don't know.
I'm not sure...
People need support on admin too.
Feelings fly.
Maybe thats what I like about it.
Conflict skills etc.
More movement than the other boards.
I like that.
I like process stuff.

I don't know.
