Mark,

I am writing as moderator at the moment, because sometimes it is

necessary. This list tries to stay as unmoderated as possible

allowing the widest range of topic and posting freedom while at the

same time staying focused (very tricky at times as you can probably

guess).

However, one of the big features here is that people are on equal

footing and treated respectfully - those feeling they are somehow

superior in education, experience, or otherwise are asked to please

check their egos at the door, and you may pick them up on your way

out (if they must be retrieved at all). The tone of your last post to

Anita sounded very belittling and is totally inappropriate.

Critical thinking and questioning is encouraged here. The focus here

is working toward getting information as correct or accurate as

possible; and helping each person find solutions for THEIR particular

situation.

If you disagree with the information shared, please post respectfully

on the information - not attacking the person questioning or sharing.

Anyone can be right or wrong about something, or have partial

information. And everyone has something to contribute. You can post

your reasons for disagreeing, why you think otherwise, post

references pro or con, or other information focused on working

through the problem. There may not even be one single solution.

This format may differ from other lists you have been on, so I am

posting this not only for you but for anyone else who is unsure. This

group and the format of critical questioning and thinking has brought

about significant changes in the biomedical therapy in autism,

digestive problems, and related issues over the past years.
