These lists are meant to enhance the private topic category. My vision is if someone is looking for support on a controversial issue, they can use the lists to create a private topic and get the support they are seeking without the thread being hijacked by a debates, arguments, and personal attacks.
Once again, this is meant to enhance, not censor. The adult board will still remain the same as it has always been.
To be added to a list or to suggest a new list, there are three options.
1: use this thread.
2: contact me with a private message
3: use the forms provided at the bottom of the lists page: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.c-mockingbird.com/cflists.html">http://www.c-mockingbird.com/cflists.html</a>
The lists page has instructions on how to create a private topic, as well as descriptions for all the lists, which will also be provided here.
I think if this is able to help even a few people it will be worth it, but in order for this to work I need a significant number of people to participate by signing up.
Available lists:
<b>Support lists:</b>
These are lists of people who may not necessarily agree with a particular viewpoint, but promise to leave their personalities, attitudes, and opinions at the door. In other words, if they do not have anything supportive to say, they will not say anything at all.
<u>Pro-life</u>: A support list for CF-related pregnancy in which abortion will not be discussed
<u>Pro-choice</u>: A support list for people who have had an abortion or are considering having one
<u>Papa don't preach</u>: A support list for people who may have made some mistakes in the past but are trying to turn their life around
<b>General discussion lists</b>
These are lists of people who belong to a certain demographic. There might be some minor differences in opinion, but for the most part the arguments which might ruin a topic on the main board will be excluded.
<u>Rose colored glasses</u>: A list of people who believe in focusing on the positive
<u>CF sucks</u>: A list of people who hate CF, believe it has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and wish they had never been born with it
