Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Hello everyone! I've gone back and reviewed the threads on insurance and surgery affordability. We are all going to have different opinions based on our experiences. If I had of wanted to force my opinions on everyone, I would have been a more restrictive moderator from the beginning. This listserve has surpassed all of my expectations, including people from so many different countries with access to many types of coverage and care. We have to AGREE to DISAGREE! We gain nothing by trying to push our opinions onto others. Discussions may become uncomfortable but KEEP IT CONSTRUCTIVE! We learn by being exposed to others' experiences and this is not the place to put down ideas. Be inclusive and be polite and understand that your particular opinion may not be shared by everyone. And that's ok!! And let me emphasize that anyone that is not "being nice" will be removed from this list! I have the final say! I may not always agree with what people say but I will at least defend the right for people to have an opinion. Meanness will not be tolerated... Alisa Site Moderator Quote
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Bravo Alisa! This is too nice a place to have it spoiled by members becoming upset and writing things which they probably regret moments after they have hit the "SEND" button. I am not denying that there is a place for healthy debate on issues, but we must always work to keep that debate constructive and polite. Every single one of us here is different. We have different medical conditions, different health insurance deals and, most importantly, different personalities. That's what makes the world such an interesting place. We aussies have a saying that we try to give everybody a "fair go" ... let's all remember Susie's request and have a nice (friendly) day! Aussie Hello everyone!
