It’s alright for anybody to do anything they want that’s still matches the charter
Which is summarised on the first page of the forum as “Be nice to each other 🙂, Give & take the support you can & need.”
All our conditions need the maximum amount of solutions and where those don’t exist research and where that is currently insufficiently active then Awareness
I know we’ve come from a place where people keep adding rules about what you can’t do such as have freedom of speech and then take stupidly disproportionate draconian responses
I would like that we have a philosophy of we remove limitations whether perceived or real, that everybody has the freedom (the duty!!) to speak and say and communicate and connect as they wish within the terms of the charter.
I’ve said elsewhere but I’ll say it again if you disagree with the governance here then rather than force it into a form that goes to anonymous unaccountable people here you should say it in public where everybody who’s a member gets the opportunity to voice their opinion.
That’s not to say everything operates 101% democratically. Democracy at the extremes has flaws in operation as does tyranny. It’s a lot nicer to live in a flawed democracy than under any form of Stroke Association forum oppression.
