I must first say that I tried to contact the administration with my concern, but apparently I must be blocked as when I clicked on the link, nothing happened.
Yesterday I commented on a post where the person used what I considered to be using God's name in vain when they used g*dd**n(it was spelled out completely)and the word **** in their question/post. As a Christian I take great offense to God's name being used in vain. And it remained unchanged even after I brought it to their attention.
And I only did as I have noticed over the several years that I've been on this forum that words like sh*t, h*ll, a*s and the like have always been changed with the the asterisk added(like I did in my post here)and to me those mild words don't begin to compare to using God's name in vain in my book anyway, yet they kept it unchanged.
And so I called them(Aging Care)out on it and said that if they were going to censor some of us they needed to be censoring ALL of us, and it wasn't right to pick and choose as it could interpreted as discrimination.
It was because of my comments apparently that I was removed from their email list, as I didn't receive the caregiver connection(when I had comments that were "liked" by others yesterday), last night, nor did I receive the Aging Care Forum email this morning that I get every morning.
I have been a good contributor over the almost 3 years I've been on here, and even though I don't come on a whole lot anymore(for varies reasons) the thought that what is supposed to be a legit forum to help caregivers who really need it, has now become "woke"(like so many other platforms) because they don't like being called out for being unfair, is disheartening to say the least.
I thought I still lived in America where I had freedom of speech, but apparently that only applies if someone agrees with what you're saying huh? It's not only sad but a shame that Aging Care has jumped on the "woke" bandwagon.
So to all of you folks who are still in the throes of caregiving, I wish you all the very best and will remind you to make sure that you're taking good care of yourselves while on this journey, as you matter too.
God bless you all.
I agree with cwillie, it probably was a glitch. The nightly news was abuzz with political news that it felt like all of the internet was stalling.
I did read your comment about the words that were used in the post. I reread the post and even the profile and did not see any swear words or taking God's name in vain so it must have been moderated by the time I saw the post.
I think what happens is that many write as if we were talking to someone and unfortunately language like that is so common.
I tend to overlook things like that but I understand your point of view and it is valid.
(side comment there though..freedom of speech goes both ways. I mean no disrespect in saying that)
Since this is open to all and I have read some posts/questions that I could barely understand either the post rambles on or grammar is not great, or the ones IN ALL CAPS SO IT LOOKS LIKE SOMONE IS YELLING and I try to ignore the parts that irritate me and get to the gist of the question or post.
And the fact that I am reading your post and commenting on it I doubt that you have been blocked.
As far as the "daily email" I do not get one daily it is maybe every 2 or 3 days.
As for your Christian values - people generally do take the time to modify their words so as not to offend and if they don't the moderators will do it for them, IMO expecting more than that is expecting too much. People who don't share your beliefs have to put up with constant posts about Christian values/virtues from certain members and they aren't ever deleted or even modified - tit for tat.
