I have chosen to delete the threads about prejudice, or not prejudice comments.

I feel we need to do our best to be supportive, loving, and stick to our alanon sharing.

Want to add, I am sure the comments were never meant to hurt anyone on purpose.

Please remember a lot of us are already very tender with what we are dealing with. This kind of thread will not help us in alanon.

You know I am your sister in alanon, and love you all in our alanon way.

Thank you,Debilyn

Excellent idea, even though I just spent the last thirty minutes responding to all three of them!

While I understand the need to do that, the original part of Diva's thread was important. So if possible any chance that part can be reinstated? Because the feedback on the original thread was helpful. Just a thought.

Love and blessings to you and your animals.

Live strong,
Karilynn & Pipers Kitty

That's fine Debilyn...if you feel the thread was of no value. But let us not get to the point where we must be afraid to make our voices heard. The greatest decisions and achievements are born of disagreement. It is unfortunate that we cannot all have a good laugh at ourselves once in a while. Not every minute of every day should be spent in "serious mode." Once in a while we need to separate "the men from the boys" as they say.  Yep, Deb, some of us are very tender, but life goes on, and the most tender among us need to learn to successfully cope with that with which we do not agree without jumping on the "offended" bandwagon.  Something about unnecessary censorship makes me cringe, but I'll live through it.

With love and good wishes,

Diva

Diva, I completely agree with you. It is the minority, the brave ones who stand up and make changes.

However, this is an alanon board. Some threads are ok, but when people are hurt, and then we start completely focusing away from alanon, it is not safe here.

You are a VERY important Lady here. I believe in you completely.

I am a mother bear when it comes to us being "safe" here. I believe next time I will send out a note to please take this private. Someone could make a site that we could refer to also to keep on sharing threads that are important, but not healthy for the alanon message board.

Love in alanon, debilyn
