> The participants on both boards are mostly kind and supportive. Competition between the two boards seems silly to me. We're two ships on the same ocean.
I've been thinking about interactions between online groups (and possibly discussing this at an upcoming meeting). Competition is one possibility, and I'd be interested in other ideas.
Please be sensitive to the feelings of those in other online groups if you do post. Thanks,
Bob

Loyalty could be a reason too..
I know it was my loyalty to this place that caused me to be so upset about some postings over there (though that was ages ago now)..
Or is loyalty the right word?
Or fear of losing this place.. You're the most tolerant moderator I've ever come across in many years of using online boards, newsgroups etc, but I do get scared there will be a final line thats crossed and makes you hang up your boots. And while there are times we all need a break, this place means so much to me I would fight tooth and nail to keep it alive..
Some will probably attribute it to jealousy, but I don't see that in it at all..
another thought on loyalty.. This place, to me, is like an extended family.. and while I can moan about my family as much as I want, *no one* else is allowed to, and I would support my family to the ends of the earth.. So maybe there is love in loyalty too..
OK, rambling.. sorry
Nikki xx

Lordy, it's been ages since Social Psych. but I seem to recall something about this. Us vs. Them leading to negative feelings. Whereas if there were instead a feeling that we were all one big group, albeit on two ships, there would be less competition or negative feelings about the other group. Or something like that.
How 'bout we view all mental health support forums as one big convoy to mental health?
Rolling rolling rolling....

Where is "over there". I only know Babbleland, and that's where I'll stay! Fondly, Phillipa
