I'm sorry to have activated the sensitivities of some of you. There's nothing wrong with reading and not posting if that's what's right for you, whether some or all of the time. I do it too; often have to, due to time or other outside pressures.

I also agree with Dinah, that I'd rather hear even a peep from people who would othewise not post than not to hear from them at all. The flexibility of Babble is one of its great advantages.

The concern I expressed is that while some may stay off the board because they feel pressured or unsafe, others may stay off because they feel they will be ignored or their voices will be unheard. I personally would like to hear from them too, and if a little encouragement would help them when they do drop in, that would be great. I hate to see anyone drop out for lack of a response. So this is the issue I am raising not changing what already works for most, but whether the board can be made more welcoming for everyone. If you feel you already address that with your own posting style, then thanks for sharing your philosophy, it may be helpful for all of us.

As Daisy aptly put it, people need comfort and support, but Babble can also be a place of nudging, of alternative ideas, of challenges and of hotly debated topics. This is what we are doing.

Best,
Lucie
