"I think the question should not be "should that person stay on this
list?" but "should that person be posting advice to this list?""

That's a really great way to put it.
Giving advice that goes against the purpose of the list, will result
in some pretty intense discussion. If you don't enjoy that, then
reading more might help you get more out of the list, rather than posting.

Just remember, most of us that truly, deeply understand and live the
unschooling philosophies were at a different place in the journey
years ago. I had some doozy's I posted and got blasted for!:)
But we slowly shed layers of "have to's" and quit limiting our
children. What we found was a more peaceful family life, better
relationships and a happier home.

I already KNOW all about limits and what it's like to employ them. Really.
What some of you don't know yet, is about living without that crap and
how wonderful it can be on the other side.:) Come on in, the water's
fine..........

Yesterday I got a copy of Joyful Parenting which I thought was an unschool
recommendation however, one chapter I perused mentions "setting limits is a
loving act." Did I buy the wrong book?

There's a list of books at the AlwaysUnschooled list. The only one
with Joy in the title is:

Bill and Win Sweet's Living Joyfully with Children.

The ones with Parent in the title that sounded similar are:

Cohen, Lawrence -- Playful Parenting
Hunt, Jan -- The Natural Child: Parenting from the Heart
Kabat-Zinn, John and Myla -- Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of
Mindful Parenting
Kohn, Alfie -- Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and
Punishment to Love and Reason
Kream, Rue -- Parenting a Free Child
