I guess I am one in the 'fog'!:)I had no idea...well, maybe a hint that you all were having to play recess teachers....here's my input on it...(and I am sure after 14pages, you are excited about that!LOL)
I personally scroll each section and read by interest..and, lack of! If I see a post that someone is asking a question and there is only a few responses and I see it has moved down...waaay down, I make an effort to answer it. As we all should. That is what makes this a great forum.
I totally agree w/making a personal section as you are doing...I have a hectic life and honestly (sorry people) don't go there. I am not looking for drama...all I have to do is open my door here at home! I do think people forget that..that we all have baggage and crisis in our personal lives and come to places such as this forum to leave it, even for a moment. Not to come here and add to our stress lists and/or lack of sleep from someone elses. If that makes me insensitive, then so be it...a person's saddle can handle only so much. And I come here for quilts, quilt topics:). I do feel if a person likes to add to their life drama, then great...if you like it, read it, want to keep up w/it...then 'bookmark' it! If you want to find it again if it was to be moved.....bingo! It will follow.
As a parent, and prob a tougher one....I find it sad that you have to go to this level to maintain what should be going on in the first place. Talking quilts! So, do what you need to do....keep the hen pens seperate if you need to(birds of the feather do flock together)....delete as they continue to post pooh (that would be a time out!) and, if someone wants to complain and whine....kick'm out (tough love!)LOL Skeat...who loves to talk, see, help talk quilts.....the rest of me is heartless in my real world:)
