I became a member of DR1 in 2004, but have posted only about 50 times. I post only when I believe that I can make a contribution to a thread. However, something happened and now I would like the advise of the other members of DR1.
About a month ago, I posted on a thread in the Spanish 101 forum. The information that I posted was from an English-language text used at the University of Puerto Rico. I did not invent this information or post from memory. Needless to say, the originator of said thread did not agree with my information and was highly upset. She told me that >her< thread was not the object of debate and that I should begin my own thread in the Debate Forum. She also called on the moderator to delete my participations from >her< thread.
Here is where I need your help: If someone begins a thread in the Government Board and writes that Leonel is the best thing to happen to the Domincan Republic, does everybody else that posts there need only to praise the virtues of Leonel and give examples of all the wonderful things he has done for the country? If someone does not agree, is that person prohibited from posting there and has to start his/her own thread in the Debate
section?
Another example: If someone begins a thread in the Living Board and writes that the North Coast is the best place to live in the Dominican Republic, does everybody else have to give only examples of how wonderful the North Coast is and the benefits of living there? If someone does not agree, is that person also prohibited from posting there and has to start his/her own thread in the Debate section?
I would really appreciate your comments on this issue as I do not want cross anybody else and spoil their day and/or night! Please help me out on this one!
Regards to all.
