About this board

---------------------------------------------------------
[I've brought this up from the old board and changed it a
little.]
This can be brief because the one thing I hope everyone keeps in
mind is the saying doctors learn: "First, do no harm."
These are real people here, and they have real feelings. You may
be so eager to get a particular point across that you lose sight
of that.
When you're putting words on the screen for everyone to see, you
have enormous power. Please don't misuse it.
Using racial or ethnic slurs, or name-calling of any kind, is
definitely not acceptable. You'll be asked to change any post
that contains abuse of any minority group--or any group, or
individual.
Quote:
They that have pow'r to hurt and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as sone,
Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow,
They rightly do inherit heaven's graces
And husband nature's riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others but stewards of their excellence.
The summer's flow'r is to the summer sweet
Though to itself it only live and die,
But if that flow'r with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds,
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
--Shakespeare, "Sonnet 94"
"To temptation slow," he says. How about slow to be tempted to
press that Submit button?
--WELCOME to this board, and let's all try to keep this a
friendly place.

There was also this, from the old board:
Not another MS message board?????
And why not?
This one has only one moderator/administrator (agate), and there
will be very little moderating here.
No locked threads unless the author of the thread requests that
it be locked. No banning. No deletions without authors'
permission.
No forbidden topics, no forbidden language. It would be nice if
everybody could be civil, but this is the real world.
People with MS have enough problems without the added stress of
belonging to a board where they feel their every word is being
inspected by a moderator ready to pounce.
I don't much care how your posts look or sound. I'd just like my
friends here to enjoy their stay and talk about what's on their
mind, without fear of reprisals, punitive measures or
censorship.
This board is for you, not me.
