Angelina i only ask for sensitivity when making decisions

I think that sensivity and manners are a constant in moderation action here.

      Ines I think that sensivity and manners are a constant in moderation action here.

      i have that feeling too, but it can just slip away pretty quickly and by that i mean both in one direction and in the other

        I have a question. Maybe @Megan or @Laura can help me. Would it be ok to write my email adress in my profile description?

          Kris Would it be ok to write my email adress in my profile description?

          It's fine. But be aware about spammers

              Kris

              don't you think that's a bit risky? when the forum was smaller, i.e. 2 years ago, i might have done that too, but now there are soo many users here who could see that and not everyone is friendly.

                  Angelina Don't worry, its a mail-adress, where nothing personal is stored 🙂

                      that's not what i mean, there could also be users registered here who send you trojan mails or similar. not everyone is what he/she seems. there are many users i would give my mail to, but especially those who have been registered for months/years and have never written anything seem very suspicious to me.

                          New forum rule, 11.
                          It's not possible for people to come in here to have a good time, and find the language of slum pimps.
                          We may not like the ideas, and they may be refuted, but it's enough to make the forum environment uncomfortable.
                          The moderation team has removed trolls, horror stories, and abuse tales, now the goal is for the community to be led by kindness.
                          I know that most users agree.

                            Ines and find the language of slum pimps.

                            i'm not sure what that is but it seems to refer to that we should use polite language, i agree with the new rule 🙂

                                Angelina
                                You got the meaning right.
                                Slum pimp would literally translate into German as "Zuhälter aus den Slums".

                                    curious

                                    so it can be translated as "ghetto language" 😉 anyway, good that this rule exists, actually superfluous for a long time already

                                      Hostility is why I’ve been absent. The roe vs Wade thing kind of made me check out for a long time.
                                      I’m quick to offer an honest opinion, but I like to try to avoid hostility.
                                      I admit some of my opinions are way out of mainstream, but I spend my time on more of the less known social sites among those that feel they have been censored.
                                      I refuse to be censored anymore so I tend to attract hostility.

                                        Cb85 nobody is censoring you, but if you repeat well known untruths you’ll get called out on it. Saying things are the “truth” then just outright talking nonsense isn’t going to get you a free pass, sorry.

                                          Cb85 I admit some of my opinions are way out of mainstream

                                          Not necessarily in my country. Much of what I see you have written seems reminiscent of Donald Trump and his supporters and he got elected President of the United States. So much for being "way out of mainstream".

                                            nobody wants to censor you. i read an interesting sentence yesterday: we have no problem with freedom of expression, we have a problem with accepting other opinions, i think that sums it up well. we all (myself included) should work to make everyone feel comfortable 🙂

                                                Actually, there is a right to your own opinion, but you cannot have your own facts just because you do not like what the facts are.
                                                This is, as far as I understand it, the underlying problem in the US.
                                                It started with the now famous 'alternative facts' about the size of Trump's inaugural crowd and has progressed from there.
