Thread Name: BS: Why Thread Titles Are Important
Subject: RE: BS: Why Thread Titles Are Important
I don't mind the bullshit threads, if I'm not in the mood I don't look. But one thing struck me the other day. There seem to be a lot of threads about situations people are having in their lives involving people outside of the mudcat family. I am concerned that we should remember that we are broadcasting here (its not a cozy chat with a limited and private group). Some of the things I read about would mortify me if I were the person being mentioned. Publicising other people's problems also seems pretty unhelpful and potentially damaging. I won't give specifics because that would start an argument that I don't want to have. I just needed to get it off my chest & this seemed a reasonably appropriate thread, so I feel lots better now, cheers.
