But yes, there's the risk that someone else might. But that's always been possible. And I don't see how it can be prevented. With the link to the "do not share/tweet list", people can at least see what your wishes are. I guess in theory the buttons could automatically check the list themselves, but I have no control over how they work.
> Are you seriously suggesting that people should tweet the posts of others to obtain for them support and education from places other than Babble?
I'm not suggesting that anyone share or tweet your posts against your wishes.
But I do think someone could tweet a post to try to help another poster. For example, the poster might ask a question and not get an answer, someone might tweet it, and someone else might see it, know the answer, and come here to reply. Wouldn't that be helpful to the poster?
> I'm sorry I'm leaving under these circumstances. Please please don't tell me I need to do what is best for me. Please don't tell me that you appreciate what I've brought to Babble. If you appreciated it, you wouldn't have driven me away.
I'd be sorry if you left under these circumstances, too. Adding the buttons even though we disagree about them doesn't mean I haven't appreciated your contributions!
