I think your absolutely right Ginger however, I think maybe the second poster or relay it correctly. No, there is no way for you to monitor and determine those there to help not to mention it would be playing God. I think what they were asking for is a board where pehaps registration is required, no real verification (object being no guest post), then when registering maybe a note on the purpose of the board that its there for the help of survivors or however it would be put. Then leave the rest to the survivors and those survivors posting there if things got ugly could post replies saying that you know this or that is not helpful. The idea being that those registering would know that , that board is there to help the survivors deal with stuff, so only those that really want a place to talk or whatever have it and they have the backing of the other survivors / posters. I think the survivors should take "monitoring" part of it although i know to set one up you have to name an administrator.
Asking you to be judge, jury is not only unrealistic as you say but impossiable. I think they are just asking for another board where survivors can go where the atmosphere is a bit different.
You may be right that it may turn out just like another bar but then again , maybe not.You know i don't support clique's. We are all at different stages of getting over what happened to us. I think the other poster is asking for a board that the survivors monitor where someone can go where attacks won't really be supported by those on that board, does that make sense. I am finding it hard to describe what i think that poster is asking for and keep in mind I could be wrong about what they want.
Ginger , they are not words of kindness but words of truth and I mean that. We all need each other when it comes to dealing with Straight and you should be given kudos for all your efforts because you didnt have to do it, you didnt have to care, the same is true of Richard, Mike, Sammy etc . I think people should be know your efforts, I think survivors should know you care. I also think you deserve credit for all you have done. I have seen many get angry at you , me, richard other survivors but I am of the opinion that if those "angry" people got to know those they attack they might feel differently. You have been threatned with lawsuits and fought back and kept fornits up, which is why we are even able to discuss this, you have paid for alot of webspace and helped Wes with his site. That is something i respect alot. I have lost it on the board before because I am human but that is not my total make up. I think we as survivors should stress the good in our fellow survivors and not so much on the negative or what we disagree with it.

Anyway, if the second poster elaborates on what they want maybe that would help.

I agree with most of the first two posters. I have to say this though, Ginger is an avid believer in free speech and I have alot of respect for her for that, she has defended it to her own peril at times. However, we all must realize that with the freedom of free speech comes those that use words to help and those that use words to hurt. Gingers contribution to survivors I think is immeasureable. All survivors , or almost all have done what they can to help. As for me, all I did was close the program and help where I could over the years. I appreciate what guest said but I did only what I felt I had to at the time. No more, no less. Richard did the same thing, he and I did what we felt was right and what we felt we could do at the time. Often, I know I have felt that it wasn't enough. I know too that I regret anyone I hurt in Straight. I know that Sammy has put herself , her emotions on the line more than once, I know Mike has tackled his own reservations and stood up to them when the survivors needed him. I know Ginger has always been there providing what she can and many other survivors have done alot to help. Yes, there are those that do things that hurt more than help but I see those as wounded people that need the rest of us.I hope that came out right , I just meant that if we look at the attacks as coming from someone who is hurting we all might respond differently.
I agree that a board that is geared toward helping or offering a place where survivors can talk about what is going on with them without the fear of being torn apart is needed. The sad thing is I don't think any of us survived Straight with no damage, nor do I think that many of us would ever go to a counselor again. So, in that, Straight made sure not only to do permanent damage but to make sure we could never seek help for it either.So, we really only have each other.

If Ginger is willing to make another board, I would be willing to participate with it along with the second poster. We would need another name for the board though and I do think registeration is a plus.

Perhaps it could be a protected board of some sort where all could talk about what is going on with them the good and the bad and or make suggestions to help survivors get justice. That would be up to Ginger though.

I normally don't  post on here but maybe once a year or so. What we have to realize though as I said before I don;t think any of us came out smelling rosey from Straight therefore, all of us have issues that permanent, buttons that can be pushed, damage that really cant be fixed. That is the sad thing , Straight did do permanent damage to everyone not just emotional or mental but financial as well. So, there is a host of damage on this board and throwing that all together can get rough at times.
I don't think any of us are qualified to help fix what Straight did, but I do think we can listen to each other and try to help build each other up instead of tear each other down.

So, you will have to ask ginger if she can put a board like that up.
