Thanks Roon - we still have to enforece the 1 Member name per member rule...and I know she is one of the ones that has MANY.
Besides, there have been other issues that have come up today that make this information more important.
(FYI - I asked Donna to post here - but she hasn't yet, dunno why - Dawn gave your email address out to eventplanner and thediva...)
Last nite, prior to loggin' off my puter, I wanted to look at the new digichat room again. Like a kid who's bedroom got repainted and remodeled. Dawn was there alone. So we talked and talked and talked. I believe that some folks, (and I don't know their names, I have guesses, but the guessing game is over) have gotten great joy feeding this juvenile drama. Dawn and I both have agreed to starve this little episode and concentrate of the real life drama and excitement of those on all sides of the triad, that is good; Reunions, placements, understanding and respect.
I did explain to Dawn, that I was a monitor first, and would kick her butt out in a heartbeat...her response, laughter and a good, you are learning.
I am looking forward to this new chat, and think there are going to be many times more people coming into these rooms. Education to adoption is the only way to bring about change to the systems. I believe that this chat can be a big part of that.
I step down off my soap box, and join the minions that just keep on keepin on! :cheer:
Roon,
I think its great that you were able to talk to Dawn if you have a rapport with her, maybe you can address some of the deeper issues that consistently come up with her in complaints. For example:
Her demand to know, from hopeful adoptive parents and adoptive parents who are new to the site or new to chat, why they aren֒t funding the expectant mothers ability to raise her child.
Her continual harassment and attacks of new people she thinks are trolls.
These two above issues are the biggest at this time I֒ve had far more than one complaint for each from unique users (not people who are reporting it, creating a new ID and reporting it again but actual, physical users). Her demands of hopeful adoptive parents and adoptive parents is darn close to personal attacks in the way she is phrasing things and also the way she is approaching these people.
If she֒d like to have a chat about adoption reform where those who are interested in discussing the like topic can join her and discuss it, thats fine҅but the General Adoption Foyer is not the place to do thisthis is meant to be a supportive site and pouncing on new members who come in for adopting of for just being a new member is not being supportive. If she is unhappy with the climate of the rooms or unhappy with the direction of ADOPTION chat, (notice, adoption, not œOnlyKnownMembersWhoIveMetBeforeAreWelcomeҔ chat) then she needs to find some other place to hang her hat.
Having a bad experience and sharing with others to educate is one thing harassing, attacking, witch hunting, general rudeness ֖ thats another. These rooms are for everyone, from all sides of the triad Җ and currently, a large number of our adoptive parent members do NOT feel welcome in chat, so my focus will be to change that.
I agree with the points, I addressed Dawn refereing to janet being Rhonda, and the amount of people she continues to believe are Rhonda. I told her they may all be evil people, but I was pretty sure that they were not Rhonda. She said, oh I know that, I call all evil people Rhonda. Which cleared up alot for me. The part about the funding a potential birthmom, we have debated that in the past, but I have not seen her say it to an adoptive mom (as I am one). But I was firm last nite, and she admitted to being a bit mean and paranoid.

If Dawn would like to have her other ID's dealt with, ask her to send an email to Admin@adoptionmedia.com from the email addresses she used to register them and I will take care of them...
