Here is the sticky text in question:
Seeking to deny another member the benefits and enjoyment of posting in this forum should not be undertaken lightly. Everyone who posts here must take full responsibility for their decision to reveal intimate and sensitive information to people they do not know and may not like. It would be unfair to shift the responsibility for your own feelings of vulnerability to others by trying to keep them out of this forum if your concern is not in some way related to an awaremess of questionable behavior on their part.
I believe Estel had suggested 'for personal feelings of vulnerability' and 'if the concern' instead of the current wording.
I don't see whose feelings one could possibly be responsible for but one's own, and whose concern one would be considering but one's own. This is the truth of the statement, which I think the suggested change attempts to mask by using vague verbiage.
Edited to remove suggestion pending further comments on a revote.
My problem with the wording is that it sounds accusatory with a "shame on you" attitude towards anyone even contemplating objecting to someone, and I fear that the words would cause someone who would normally object not to, because of fear from lack of support from Rangers / Admins.
And I must admit to feeling that your refusal to even contemplate two words being changed comes across as being difficult for the sake of being difficult.
There are enough people asking for it that it should be considered....
... or did you want us only to address (and revote) on your concerns.
I don't mean to sound like a complete bitch here, but you want an entire revote on one of the ballots, and I am simply asking for us to consider changing a couple words. Words that don't even change the meaning of the statement. I really don't understand why I should agree to revote your issue, when you won't even take my concerns - stated previous to the voting and ignored - into consideration.
