Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 Bravo, Sharon, Bravo! Maralee Re: Re: About The Posts Annie, I can't speak for Mike , but I know that sounds reasonable to me. If there is an article of interest, then one can just post the URL to it and a little rundown of what it refers to and those of us who wish to read it can, and those who do not, don't have to bother. I have asked Mike to stay on this list, because I think he is a very good advocate and many of his posts are informitive. However this is a great idea and may work to solve the problem and stop the argument, so no one will become offended. Like I stated in a former post, religion and politics is where even the best of us become very defensive. I read a post, and can't remember who it came from. I tried not to respond, but I'm afraid I will have to. The post said, I sometimes think Christians should keep their views to themselves and then they went on to mention they were catholic and a humanitarian. I am not singling anyone particular out, but this is a remark uncalled for. I started this list as a support group, being the mother of 4 boys on the spectrum. I am a christian and do not believe in censorship in any way. I have not always agreed with alot of posts on this list, but hey, we all have our views and we can not always agree on everything. The thing is if we kept our views to ourselves, then, this would be a boring world, who would stand up for our kids, who would tell our side of the story, and what would happen to our freedom of speech? I love to talk, and I am one that believes God never put us here to keep our views to ourselves. Every religion speaks their view, even catholics. While I do not agree with them all, I still respect everyone and their views.I will voice my opinion and am never ashamed of being a christian or speaking up, but I have never pushed my view on anyone. There are things that some people may find appropriate to post that others may not. That is why this idea is a good one. If we choose to use the URL, we can read the article. If we find the post offensive, we can push the delete button ! and move on, but there is no reason for people to make comments about others beliefs, and argue, and hurt others feelings. There is also no reason for people to get upset and leave the list. We are here to support each other, not argue over who is right or wrong or what is offensive or not. So let's get back to the reason I started this list. I enjoy reading all your posts and find them all supportive and informitive, but let's just go with this rule for now and see how it goes. If you have something to post, give us a little rundown and the URL and it will be up to us to read it or not. For all those who feel this is fair, then let me know. Hope this sounds fair to you Mike and everyone. Thanks and hope all of you have a very Blessed Holiday season, and a great New Year.
