Panpacific: well said. The chorus here reminds me of the many recent articles on the stifling tone on college campuses now where people publicly shout down views they don’t like or don’t want to hear.
I think @SculptorDad has a good point. I participate in other online forums that do exactly that. After a certain amount of time (that I am guessing the moderators determine), no new posts are permitted. The thread is marked “discussion is closed for this thread.” It allows for search but doesn’t endlessly revive old threads. Especially since, as in other areas, the boarding school admissions climate is quite a bit different than it was at the time some of the older discussions were happening.
@ChoatieMom … Stumbled upon this old thread and read your “chance me” post. Can’t stop laughing. Thank you.
