Yes, you are talking about silencing voices.
When you say a poster shouldn't post in the style they've written with for
years and years, that is arrogant.
People post in their style. It may not be what you like to hear, but others
do.
Sandra's voice may upset some people, but others get a LOT from her. And
you're asking her to change her style of posting?
This, as mentioned before, is an unshcooling discussion list.
I would assume that anyone coming here wants to discuss ideas and
philosophies.
That makes it a whole different playing field than what I'm on with my dh and
children.
One would assume that on a discussion list, there is a level of maturity that
makes difficult discussion possible. If my children voluntarily came to this
list, I would let them know up front what it's about and then they better be
able to handle it.
If not, they could leave.
No one is making anyone be here.
It's kind of rude to come in a bit late to a party and then yell that you
don't like the way it's being run.

The next mean thing you read, *don't* reply.

Let's put an end to this right now.

The peace of the forum rests on how you respond. It's not held hostage by
"the other side". It's *your* responsiblity.

Let's get back to discussing unschooling.

It's called an analogy.
If you hate it here SO much, why stay?
If I felt the way you do about a group, I certainly wouldn't spend all my
time screaming at everyone on it....seems so unproductive when we could be
talking about unschooling.
