whenever we get on of these college or Uni students wanting us to fill out a surveymonkey we could fill in their surveys with utter nonsense?what do you think??
Just caught up with this. I'm new here, but for what it's worth Longman, your advice to me about my son has been insightful and invaluable - things are much better because you can offer insights which other support services haven't been able to. So thank you for that, it would be a shame if you were to stop.
The point made about a forum where many members are naturally rigid in their views is a really good one. I know I'm guilty of this, and having taken a few days to think, my view has changed a bit. Although I still disagree with many of the original points that doesn't make them invalid - the important thing about a forum is that it should be a place where everyone feels safe. So if others don't feel safe with online surveys and research, regardless of my personal opinion, their feelings are more important - because their need for safety is more necessary than my want to participate in these.
I'm sorry to have started a debate, it wasn't my intention to cause trouble, merely to give my view.
Regarding the mods issue, I don't feel I've been here long enough to comment except to say that diplomacy is probably the key skill all mods should possess! No-one should feel vilified, even if that was not the intention.
