There are times when new posters who don't understand the purpose of this forum, which is to provide a safe, comfortable, non-judgmental space for posters who are or were caregivers to share experiences and techniques needed for caregiving an elder, start in with rude discourse on non- careging topics.
We need to maintain civil discourse and not get derailed into politics or name-calling. If someone provokes, go silent.
Report provocative posts.
Email the moderators and tell them not to stand for provoking posters.
Let's keep our forum polite and on topic.
Because it is you who said it.
Ok.
I am in agreement.
Report to moderators of such posts.
I'm not saying these folks are trolls.
I'm saying that they are uncivil and unhelpful and don't need to be engaged with.
In my opinion the majority of the posts should be deleted and the thread closed to new comments, but for some reason the mods are extremely reluctant to clamp down on that kind of thing.
Ah, Rawhide.... I had a major crush on Rowdy Yates. Never figured back then that Clint Eastwood would have gone onto such greatness in the movie business :) Love that voice !!
