[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the number of similar posts clustering within a narrow time range, I suspect it's a small minority that are trying to change the[b] norms of the forum[/b].[/quote]

Maybe you should instruct them on what the "norms" are.  Is it written down somewhere?

I'm sorry you feel the need or have the desire to be so snarky. [b] People have been quite clear on what the norms of this forum are.[/b]  Given the challenges in our lives, it's been nice to have a place to let my guard down and find support with people who face similar issues, worries, concerns and judgments.  That doesn't mean we always agree with each other but at least differing opinions were expressed and recieved respectfully.  If you feel you have been respectful, I would encourage you to look at how others perceive your comments.  This may not be the right forum for you.[/quote]

I wasn't being snarky.  It's a valid question to ask what the "standard of politeness" is especially since OP felt the need to post examples of what is polite, impolite and verges on impolite.  You cannot judge "tone" from internet posts or have control of how others perceive posts.  Apparently you and OP feel that only "butterflies and sunshine" posts belong here and feel you can control an anon forum.  Well, start your own then.  Your last sentence telling me, "This may not be the right forum for you." is telling and very mean.  Like who are you to tell another SN parent whether they belong here or not.[/quote]
