Mod Post: Attacks, insults, and downright rudeness
It is against the rules of this community to engage in hostility and elitism.

Within the last 24 hours, there have been at least three posts which recieved extremely inappropriate and rude comments, completely unwarranted from the posters. These sorts of comments are not tolerated in this community.

If you feel the need to attack, insult, or act "holier than" others here, please leave. If you do not leave, and if it becomes habitual, I will ban you from naturalliving. I do keep a list of members (and their comments) who are engaging in hostility and elitism on a much too frequent basis, and this list is updated regularly.

To be quite blunt, I don't care whether or not you think you're better or more knowledgeable than someone else, or if you think you live in a better way, or if you think the person you're talking to is clueless. If you are habitually rude and insulting to any member of my community, you are no longer welcome here.

-Emily, mod

	Thank you. One of the best things about this community has always been how helpful and willing to share without judgment most members are. It has been really disheartening to see the recent rudeness and attacks, but wonderful to see a moderator actually doing something about it to preserve the community. Thank you.

	Thank you! This is one of my favorite communities and although I missed all of the drama (away from my computer for a few days) I was saddened to hear that there was so much of it. You're doing a good job mod-ding and I applaud you! cheers (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I'm relatively new to this community (more than a month but still new) and I have seen your attentiveness to everything that's been going on. Job well done! (Reply to this)

	jadea_faith 2006-01-29 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Wow, I'm away for a while and I miss the drama...in all fairness this is the sort of community I was expecting to find this sort of thing in when I first joined. Yet, I have not had a single comment like that towards me, so you're obviously doing something right hun hugs (Reply to this)(Thread)

	xemcats 2006-01-29 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. =o) (Reply to this)(Parent)
