Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Hi all, Jamez here. Once again, seems that a " religious " post has sent members into a frenzy. I'm not sure if it's because it was 'religious' or 'christian', but, either way, I need to reiterate a few points on this subject. This board includes the 'whole person' in terms of dealing with their diabetes. This includes the spiritual aspect of ones' being for those who believe in whatever spiritual principle(s) they choose. It does not mean that it is a platform for ANY particular spiritual principle. Nor does it mean that anyone else has the right to criticize those beliefs. If you have an issue with a post, there are different options to pursue. Don't read the post. Delete the post. Contact or . Contact me. Put a question up on the board about the particular post you take issue with in a way that is not demeaning or derogatory (referring to someones' spiritual beliefs as " glurge " is not acceptable terminology). In fact, here is a perfect example for all of you to ponder-does this particular response, mean that, your 'own' spiritual beliefs or principles, whoever you are and whatever you believe, are considered to be " glurge " , because someone feels it doesn't belong on this board? How do you all feel about that now? Simply put, there are better ways to phrase a question without attacking another members beliefs with words I can't even find in the dictionary. There are times when information is given out that is questioned by other members as to its' accurracy. People respond in many ways-some freak; some are in total disbelief; some are confused; some run away; some question the post in a healthy, non-judgemental manner. I would hope that responses will be stated with the self-understanding that the person whose post is being questioned, may be uninformed, mis-informed or simply not know. All I ask is for courtesy to each other. It is a very simple thing and will be much more effective in achieving resolutions to issues. Please, a little respect for each other. Peace, Grace and Blessings to all (no particular belief specified), Jamez ADI Moderator sanborn51@... http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/alldiabeticinternational/ Opinions expressed are solely my opinion and should not be mistaken for professional medical advice.
