Re: Disruptive forum postings

The necessary measures have been taken. I regret needing to do so but in
light of the continued disruptions to the forum and threatening personal
e-mails, I have been give no other choice.

Everyone can now feel free to post without fear of personal attacks or being
put down. What they did does not reflect upon the the attitude of all the
other subscribers.

I have no problem with differences of opinion and lively discussion but the
recent disturbing and hurtful postings had to stop. They could have had
contributed much to our understanding and appreciation of Sansevierias but
chose not to do so. I would rather they participate but the final decision
was theirs. I hope their irrational behavior does not have any further
repercussions to the usefulness of the forum.

Don't know why there has been so much contention over a group of
easy-to-grow succulent plants or was it about something having nothing to do
with the forum at all? If the latter was the case it was completely
inappropriate to bring it into the forum at all.

Lets talk about it so we can get past it.

I regret I am being forced to take extreme measures concerning disruptive
and abusive postings continually being made in the forum. If those who
insist upon doing so continue, I will need to review their postings before
they appear in the forum. I don't want to do this but they are giving me no
choice. The silliness has gotten completely out of hand and needs to stop.

If anybody knows of a better alternative, feel free to let me know.

I would much prefer we all be discussing Sansevierias.
