<p>It’s subtle, I realize, but the key word left out from what I wrote is, “his,” as in Dad II’s, unique questions and concerns as he expresses them. </p>
<p>Does it have to be overtly stated — as in hey, stereotypical parent with unacceptable way of expressing yourself DON’T post your misguided concerns and problems here, not in Parents Forum and not anywhere else for that matter, or else! — for someone to get just that message after reading some of the responses to his comments. And don’t post your issues too often, lest someone feel they are being forced to open your thread and read your posts “ad nauseum.” </p>
<p>Don’t do it unless you enjoy being openly insulted (though sometimes those posts are deleted).</p>
<p>Don’t do it unless you don’t mind being compared to a bratty recalcitrant 2-year-old.</p>
<p>Don’t do it unless you are willing to be skillfully ridiculed and raked over the coals …in other words unless you have a pretty thick skin. </p>
<p>For some people, the villification of another poster tends to have a chilling effect on what they themselves might consider posting. That makes it less of a place where people are comfortable bringing their questions and concerns. JMHO. That’s where “this” was coming from.</p>
