Discussion Guidelines

Could we develop some rules of thumb? For example:

1. I should post as much about others' stories as I do about my own. I will be careful not to dominate the discussion. I will listen to others.
2. The theme of this group is "Healing with Sexual Relationships" with a sub theme of "Getting Rid of Pornography in Order to Find a Relationship". While off topic posts are allowed, they need to be minimized.
3. I should feel comfortable raising traumatic events from my past, particularly if they are a barrier to Healing with Sexual Relationships, but this is not the place to dwell on them or attempt to cure myself.
4. Cupid's Poisoned Arrow sets the context for our discussion, as well as any relevant research. If I don't accept CPA at all, then I should find another group.
5. I will be respectful of others and restrained in my language. I will not condemn, bait, mis-characterize accuse or attack others. I will share my inspirations and insights generously, but will not try to impose my advice on anyone.
6. If a post ends up being a back and forth argument between two people, they should take it outside the group. If the group does not participate, then it clearly isn't interested in the topic.
7. No shaming or scolding will be tolerated, as it makes the site feel unsafe, and has a chilling effect on other potential posters. For more see: http://www.reuniting.info/node/2301
