I think that sets a very bad precedent of making a judgement concerning which threads belong on psychosocial babble. Psychobabble is defined for "non-medication issues." Lumptonia is a non-medication issue.
Nikki, I totally respect your right to express your feelings. My guess is that returning to a board on which you were previously very involved and comfortable may just take a bit of time: different people, strange threads, etc. In returning and becoming active, you help determine what the board looks like.
Although I understand at the moment the board may look a bit strange to newcomers, I also believe the Lumptonia issue will resolve itself without any intervention. Several members said they are less interested now; other issues may become more important; the board redefines itself on its own. And, as stated by St. James, everyone is free to skip those posts.
Just registering my vote, shellie
