: I think the most important thing to consider when posting is no
matter how emotional a particular subject may make you, most of us
are adults here, and even those who are not are mature enough to
understand that there are consequences for what we say.
I agree with Myst here on many levels. We are mostly adults and yet
we must remember that there are also minors who visit this site so we
adults have an added responsibility.
1. keeping the forum clean. What we say may not shock some kids;
they probably see worse on TV, but if their parents happen to look in
and see some of things that get posted here, there might be
complaints or even legal action. Apart from the threat of legal
action, we have a responsibility to give minors a safe place on the
internet which celebrates something we all love: henna.
2. setting a good example. Whether we are parents or not, we are
role models for younger people, esp. on this forum. If we get petty
and intolerant, we show younger people that this kind of behavior is
acceptable. Let's spend our time sharing information about henna
with everyone who visits and when we take a stand for our values, we
do it in an intelligent and calm way.
Happy hennaing!
