    Threats of violence when replying to posts

    As a forum community, BellyBelly does not condone threats of violence made towards people in response to new articles that have been posted. Violence goes against the ethos of BellyBelly, which endorses gentle methods of parenting, and threatening violence against perpetrators goes against this. If you read an article and you feel anger towards the person in the article, please think carefully about what you post and choose your words wisely. There are so many ways to convey your feelings without threatening violence. Posts such as those are not helpful to a discussion and will be edited accordingly.

    In a recent thread the poster said she could break someone's nose for something that was said to her by this person.

    I replied with
    I want to break her nose for you!
    Is that allowed or not? Of course I don't know the person and would never break anyone's nose but just wanted to clarify whether this is allowed or not. I don't want to break any rules.

    Trillian ... I'm so glad this has been mentioned as i clearly remember the posts on a thread about the sad & tragic death of the little girl on the West gate bridge ... The comments some members made were getting so disturbing (sadly made me view these members in a slightly different way) & i do remember the thread ended up being shut down (thankfully) !!
