Okay gang, let's try this again.
- These are not _your_ boards. SoberRecovery is a private company, they charge money for advertising which is then used to pay for the servers and bandwidth from which these boards operate. They own the place, so they get to set the rules.
- The rules are clearly posted on the Forum Home page under "Forum Rules". The short version is that members are to post their personal experience in recovery, nothing more. Talking _about_ other people and what their feelings might or might not be is called gossip. Not allowed. Posting angry, hateful comments is called "flaming", also not allowed.
- The folks who manage these forums _are_ experts, highly trained, qualified and licensed in the field of alchohol and addiction treatment, as well as in the management of on-line forums.
So if you're feeling hot and angry, go take a walk. Get some fresh air. Come back tomorrow. While you were spouting steam and causing a ruckus there are several women being abused by their husbands who are _not_ getting my attention because I am busy putting out temper tantrums on this thread.
