I think there is a tendancy for people who are disgruntled over here to go over there and get a fair amount of sympathy.
Mostly people who are disgruntled with blocks / the civility rules.
One thing that can be hard is in assessing what is said at PC via the rules over here. And conversely assessing what is said over here via the rules over there.
Thats what I found really hard: Getting posts deleted that were perfectly civil. But then it really doesn't work like that. But it can be fairly hard to get your head around.
I think the general flow of people seems to be from this site to that site rather than the other way around. But then thats probably because people get blocked from here who don't get into so much trouble over there. Whereas a person who's account gets deleted from that site would likely rack up the blocks pretty quick from over here too...
Oh.
And no religion or politics.
PREVENT conflict.
That seems to be the general spirit. If you prevent it then the boards can be a safe, supportive haven.
Whereas here people are given more leeway to hash out their differences (so long as they do so within civility guidelines).I have been told that PC is NOT an appropriate place to learn conflict resolution.
Whereas over here I think I learn a lot about conflict and conflict resolution.
Depends if you are more focused on safety and support or whether you are more focused on being called on your sh*t every now and then and learning how to deal with conflict within civility guidelines I suppose...
Does this seem fair to other people???
Have others thought this too or is this just my strangeness???
