My take is that what Aclee is objecting too is not what Dannie is saying. My feeling is that Dannie is talking about the arguing on the thread and not just supporting each others personal decisions about what is best for their family, not a particular 'group.' But that is just my read.

I'm just exhausted by the thread!And honestly? I'm a little annoyed that the original thread veered so far off course to the point where now it's mostly aparents....Not that there isn't a place for that voice, but I feel like it scared off most birth parents and adoptees....(me included!)
That's why I moved the thread TGM, because it really isn't about bparent support anyway and don't want that forum used by an aparent tirade.They obviously have a right to respond but ya, they took over. The problem there is their numbers are bigger and we don't have as many active bparents or adoptees. As to the reported post, we are not deleting things that do not break the rules. We really need to be careful on this issue because lately it seems like we are just deleting reported post "just because someone is offended". That's not how it works.Dannie's post is not an attack or name calling or etc. It's an attempt at humor and Aclee doesn't find it funny. That's fine, she's entitled to her opinion and can respond to it or not.

Oh, I know. And I TOTALLY appreciate that you moved it. It just honestly worries me to some extent because I started a birth parent support thread that had to be deleted because of contentious responses (and not saying by one side or anything) and then this one had to be moved. I'd just like to see a birth parent support thread be left alone a little bit, you know? Even if it IS a hot button topic. IF (and only if) the birthparents/adoptees on it stay respectful and don't break the rules, I just feel like it should have some hope to not get overtaken.
