Sorry, I was also enjoying the conversation, I was learning from it as well. I like to hear everyone thoughts and opinions. I am worried about it for my daughter and all diabetics, I just want us to get it right. But I did get a nasty gram from the administrator about posting the piece from Mona Charen and Thomas Sowell. Thanks.
ok well then off thos the US healthcare forum then
No “nasty gram” was sent. The message sent to Teresa was in regard to her posting of the same letter in three locations, which we do not allow. We are allowing her to leave it in two locations (Robin’s discussion and here), but we cannot allow it to appear additionally as a comment to an unrelated group (Omnipod Users).
As far as shutting this discussion down is concerned, you will note that it remains open and we have not closed the discussion.
That being said, we have found that politically charged discussions often turn into unfriendly exchanges between members, which do not support the values of our community (http://tudiabetes.com/profiles/blogs/the-values-of-tudiabetes). Any discussion regarding healthcare that would bring up potentially unfriendly exchanges would be better suited to our healthcare reform discussion board (which MelissaBL referenced), where we have certain agreed upon rules of engagement. These discussions are relevant to our lives as diabetics and often productive, but do not always reflect the non-partisan values of TuDiabetes.com
Thanks,
The TuDiabetes Administration Team
