Default Re: Regarding The Mission and Operation of this Forum

UntoHim, you made a suggestion to read the forum mission statement, and I have indeed read it several times - when they were refreshed a couple years ago, then again after that when there were other issues, and then again just a couple days ago.

I think where I'm kind of stuck is not with the official mission statement, but with what was recently posted as a clarification to it. I was surprised to read this statement:

"We don’t leave it to our “poster children” to determine what is condescending and what isn’t; what is “bashing” and what isn’t."

I don't know who the poster children are, but I do know that I am not one of them. Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but this sentence seems to be saying "We won't take the input of anyone, even those who have been valuable contributing members. We and only we [the moderators] determine what is condescending or bashing, and we will not take any feedback from anyone who disagrees".

That is how this sentence comes across. Is this the message that was intended? If so, can you understand why some people would trip over it, given how much this sounds like Witness Lee and the co-workers of the LC? And also given that there could be many who are particularly sensitive to having something co-worker/Lee-esque instituted?

If it's not what was intended, can there be clarification, because I could use some clarification!

Thanks,

Trapped
