The Rules of Posting (READ FIRST)

[Angie]

• Don't spam
  
  
• This is a support community. Be nice and supportive of each other. And respect the rules and the host (me).
  
  
• I welcome ANYONE who has a loved one on dialysis or in kidney disease! You are ALL WELCOME HERE!!
  
  
• Insults directed toward other forum members (like name calling for instance) will not be tolerated!
  If someone has a complaint about another  person's post:
  
  1:  Send the complaint to the poster and give them an opportunity to explain further what the  meanin was, to apologize to the complainer or to the entire forum community.
  
  2.  If that doesn't satifiy both parties then a conflict resolver could then get involved but ONLY as a last resort.
  
  
• NO advertising of any drugs, porn, selling of organs, etc.

also .. there may be long gaps of inactivity as I sometimes end up in the hospital and it is not planned.

Kidney Korner Supports Free Speech

But that doesn't mean we allow bashing of our members.

"You are only entitled to free speech in public places - your forum is a private place which has its own rules."

Okay I think I fixed it. Turns out that when we moved to the new server something screwed up with all sensored words...

[Angie]

I just wanted to remind everyone to not insult anyone, no matter what has happened on other forums. Issues related to other forums do not need to be discussed on KidneyKorner but only with the people involved. Please deal with issues accordingly as this isn't the Jerry Springer Show.

Just wanted to remind people of that because we want to keep KidneyKorner a peaceful place that people enjoy coming to and never feel uncomfortable at.

With that said, please take things said by anyone with a grain of salt as it is really hard to know people online yet so easy to get hurt by written words sometimes. Please try to not let things get to you if someone says something inappropriately. If it persists, please PM (Private Message) me about the situation.

Thank you

PLEASE KEEP things on topic! If you want to take a topic off topic, start a NEW topic and title it appropriately!

Also when posting please look at the topic to make sure you are posting in the right topic.

If you do not, your post WILL be split off from the topic where you took it off topic and merged with the right one. However, do your best to post in the right section as I don't want to have to spend hours splitting and merging.

On that note, also do NOT hijack other people's thread! It is not only rude but not tolerated. Thank you.
