jonquecol on a rant

[Ray Martin]

Seems Bruce has a couple of things to get off his chest. Here's a rant that deserves a watchful eye http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f105/you-being-ripped-off-33076/

This is the kind of thing that could go south in a hurry.

Yes this one is an ugly one.

 

[Ray Martin]

Couple of the last posts are from folks trying to offer a more level-headed / balanced viewpoint. But that also means folks are taking sides... as in a schoolyard brawl.

Keeping an eye on this one, and what is probably a related thread http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/f105/renal-colic-33059/

To those who know Bruce... Is he trolling? Lot's of weird, TMI, off-topic threads lately. Just curious. No harm meant. I wouldn't dream of wandering into the realm of being judgmental here... :dontknow:

I now know more about the health and confidential medical data about members than I ever needed to know.

 

[Ray Martin]

Don't know if I just threw water or gasoline on to the fires. I posted a thought to the two threads that Bruce started, reminding folks to exercise a bit of discretion about the contents of their posts with regard to medical data.

Your thought?

Cut and pasted from our NCWW policy:

A Special Word About Controversial Topics

This area is the hardest to define. It covers anything, except woodworking, that might start heated debate. Examples from current events at the time of writing of this document are:

• Economy
• Immigration
• Crime

Controversial or “hot topics” can be very subjective. From time to time the staff may add or subtract topics and the membership is asked to abide by the spirit of these decisions.
​

I feel that health care as discussed in this thread would fall under this category. My knee jerk reaction is to close the thread with a referral to the above policy. I am not one of the assigned moderators for this forum section but feel we are well on the way to the "heated debate" mentioned above. I should point out that more often than not my knee jerk reactions usually result in me kicking myself. :gar-La;

I think it is a good attempt to soften the thread. It is starting to get somewhat argumentative.

Actually, I think the attempt was a great one. :eusa_clap:notworthy:
