Posting Protocols

In order to foster genuine connections among community members, please use your real name and not an alias in the discussion form. First and last name is ideal and encouraged, but first name only or first name and last name initial is ok if you prefer.
Post your message only to the most appropriate topic/channel, and only post in one channel (no double posting).
State concisely and clearly the topic of your comments in the subject line. This allows members to respond more appropriately to your posting and makes it easier for members to search the archives by subject.
When quoting, include only the relevant portions of the original message in your reply. Delete any header information and put your response before the original posting.

A Positive, Supportive Community

This is a community discussion platform geared toward personal growth and learning. As such, it must be a positive, supportive environment. Contributions and discussion in this community must be supportive and oriented toward positive growth and learning outcomes. You can disagree, but must do so in a constructive and friendly way. Support and encouragement of each other is essential to achieving our goals in this space.

Negativity and/or hostility toward others is inconsistent with the purpose and goals of this community, and as such are not permitted. We can identify challenges and issues in our lives and in the world, then work together to find the best path forward and the most empowering approach to living our best lives.
