Title: Things to think about before posting Post by DeborahW, Founder on 12/26/10 at 15:24:11 (Archived post from starflower - original forum) Here are some guidelines for people to think about before posting. (Not just the technical stuff, but the kind of tips that make an online forum a happier place to be.) 1. Think twice before writing an angry e-mail. We're here for sharing and support, not criticism. 2. Since we're all trying to educate ourselves, make it clear where your advice is coming from... is this something you've personally experienced, heard from your doctor, read about, etc...? Links are great! 3. Keep in mind that there are different kinds of mast cell disorders. What works for you might not work for the next person. 4. Be careful about sensitive topics like politics, religion, birth control, etc... If you discuss them, be prepared for responses that are radically different from your point of view. 5. There's no winner when it comes to mast cell disorders... avoid comparing who has it "worse" and dismissing people with experiences different from your own. More thoughts are welcome! :-) __________________ Through the years I have learned Some things worth the tellin' And you'd be right in guessin' That each and every lesson... they were hard won 08 October 2009 05:30 PM |
