A couple people have emailed me about the postings from pro death penalty people; feeling that this should be a safe/non argumentative forum only for anti death penalty people. Let me know if most of you want that; and if so; I can delete the posts and registrations of those who post pro death penalty messages. Remember; all people who visit the messageboard whether pro anti or neither could read all messages except the password boards (family members and CCADP members). I've allowed anyone to post as long as they were not disrespectful or bashing a particular prisoner etc; but I'm not sure what you guys think. Please let me know - allow all posts; or delete pro death penalty ones / people. what do you prefer ? I leave it to you guys and majority will rule; its your board!

Yes, I would love for only the antis to be here because there is no point for the pros to be here. There would only be alot of arguing and I'm not going to be on this website arguing with people. I see this website as a support sight. I don't want to see people arguing and beating each other down. Thank you.

I don't think there is anything wrong with a healthy discussion of the death penalty. However, families and friends of those on death row live with hate in their lives everyday and there is another board where they can go to throw their hate. I don't want it here.
So, if someone that is pro wants to post to try to understand things, that is fine. But I hope there will be a line drawn and hate left out off of this board.
Just my opinion

I think it should be open to pro's... I think that the only way we could change the opinion of people is by talking to them about the atrocities of the death penalty... if we shut them out we never get anywhere! Anja

yeah i agree, no one wants to be arguing here. Were all here for the same reason. Then again it could be useful to have maybe a seperate bored for pro's and anti's to talk/argue or whatever they want to do. You never know, you might talk some sense in to them There's no point arguing all over the forums so keep it to one board.

As long as everyone is respectful its fine with me... But I would hate if there was anything hurtful or disrepectful posted, especially to family, love ones, pen pals.... There is enough hate in the world and many ppl come here for the love and understanding that the know they will get here..... with this being the only place they can come to escape the hate and lies of this evil system... Just me 2 cents..

Anja Having pro's here is no problem with me. It's the hate, the arguements and the fighting, the name calling that should not be tolerated. I will fight against that on this board.

If they post messages with hatred I don't want them. But if it's in order to discuss death penalty respecting all members. Why not?

Well, that is what I was trying to say, respectful discussion... I do not want this board to be the same level as the pro boards, where they enjoy every execution, and degrade our loved ones to less than human. There is no need here for this... but maybe we can change some minds, especially if they see that the death penalty affects many more lives than they might have ever thought of. Anja

Ok, I did enjoy what everyone said about the pros being able to post. Well, I guess it will be alright, but like Joy said, there should be no offending comments on this board.

OK.. Here's my opinion on this. I do not mind general debates. However, the hate posts that can generate from some (not all) pro's can be very degrading, dehumanizing, humiliating, and even though they are only words typed on a screen they can have lasting effects that the one on the receiving end will have to deal with for a long time.
Therefore, I do believe Pro's should come here and voice their opinions but, only in a very civil manner.
Hugs, Pam

Hugs, Pam Pam you know what kind of Pro's we would get here , and I am not so sure anymore if I really want them here.. I heard them talk last night again, vile, evil and hateful people at times... especially the one we know so well... So actually its a mind change here... and I would rather say not to let them come here... because they can not discuss in a rational manner... they attack people that do not agree with them and even say that killing gypsys was justified just to hurt an anti (gypsys have been gased during Nazi Aera in Germany). I do not know if we would need all this crap here...

Well.. communication and respect are the basis I try to build my life on... Respect means also try to communicate with people who have an opposite point of view from mine.. it's hard but it's what i try to do. So, for what it can count, it's ok for me to open the forum to everyone, but don't forget that we try first of all to support ALL people who deal with death row... so it's ok if it's done under respect.. the same thing I try to give to everyone.... do u think it's possible??
