>I find this post to be offensive and self-promotingHello Lucie,
I realize you are quite new to Babble (and welcome - BTW) but I have to ask you to please not post anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down. In accordance with the civility guidelines for the boards, Dr. Bob asks us not to negatively characterize the posts of others. These rules can be tricky to negotiate at first, so it may help to review that area of the FAQ, *especially* when your feelings may be stirred up. Also, deputies are available to preview your post (by Babblemail or email) if you are unsure if what you wrote will stay within the guidelines. I have asked my fellow deputies to do that for me in the past, and it can really help!
>I have posted to the admin accordingly.
Also, if you have a problem with a post, please use the reporting system *only* instead of posting your comments about it on the boards. [This would include not informing a poster you have done so, as some people feel angry, embarrassed, accused, etc., when this fact is stated publicly] The major reason this system was developed (it's relatively new) is to prevent posters from feeling accused or put down by others *publicly* describing what they feel may be uncivil in others' posts.
Hope this helps clarify Babble guidelines.
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#civil
Follow-ups regarding these issues should be directed to Admin and should of course be civil. Dr. Bob has oversight over deputy decisions, and he may chose a different action.
-- 10derHeart, acting as deputy for Dr. Bob
