Hi, all. I still don't feel that the heart of my (some of our?) concern is yet being addressed.
Why not place a nice big icon for sharing on the Babble Welcome page? I would not feel my promise not to be twittered was violated, because I would not feel singled out. Maybe share icons at the top of the board pages, too. (Though I do feel the psych board is unique in the on-going personal nature of some of the sharing.) After all, this is not a blog where the writers unanimously agree to share any section of their blog, and by doing so increase readership and popularity (and advertising $) by getting more 'hits'.
Case in point, our fellow babbler in distress last night. Not everyone would be interested in this situation in the same way. Everyone here has heard of rubbernecking at an accident. The way the Babble community responded was compassion in action.
Please do not compromise the trust that has been built over the years. Yes, change is uncomfortable. We all know that. Change with some consent, with sensitivity to community input and needs is ideal and makes a stronger community. This, in turn, will attract more members--members with the best intentions, like the ones we saw in swift action last night.
I feel I am only asking for a certain level of civility and respect.
