We are all here to learn - to share ideas, stories, suggestions etc. Every time someone slams someone else, another person is possibly frightened away from speaking up.
I suggest that people should not say things here that they would not say face to face. As parents of kids with ADHD, we have all probably dealt with quite enough judgement from acquaintances, friends and family.
I submit that we all deserve to be treated with respect.
Absolutely Willa which is why we have message board rules and when those rules are not followed, the member is at risk of being removed from our board. We are here for suppport, information, to make new friends or maybe just vent. Anyone who comes here finger pointing, judging or tries to scare others in order to validate their point will not be allowed to continue membership on our board. For those who come here and demonstrate a lack of respect for other members are removed not too long after. Check out our message baard rules that are posted on all forums. Not only is the member banned from our site but their posts are deleted as well. If anyone sees a questionable post or a post that upsets a member please feel free to notify me.
