Suggestion on Cross-Posting
Cross-posting has been creating a fair amount of debate and/or contention in the
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement Support forum lately ...
Threads have been posted here which support the
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement protocol, or talk about good results, even cures, etc... and those threads have also been cross-posted to other forums (HIV, Cancer, etc....).
Since the members of those other forums do not necessarily support
Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , or may be directly opposed to it, debates have been erupting as a result. Often these folks from other forums are not even fully aware that they are posting to the MMS Support forum ... they only think they are posting to their own forum. They do not mean to create debate within the MMS forum, but they do not agree with the post that has been placed in their own forums.
I would like to throw two things out for everyone to consider. When you want to share information in another forum, consider:
1. Just copying the body of the post, and re-posting it as an entirely new thread in the other forum, rather than as a cross-post. This would allow the users of both forums to react to it differently, without stepping all over each other. A debate may erupt in the other forum, people may bash MMS, or each other, who knows. And, the debate can be kept out of the MMS support forum.
2. Whether your post is inflammatory to the members of that other forum. What do I mean by this? Are you implying that MMS is the solution to everything since the fall of Adam? Are you saying that it cures every illness known to man, and that all you have to do is drink it for 2 weeks? Are you claiming that it will cure dreadfull diseases in a few days, or that it is far better than other, well-established alternative protocols?
We may be able to handle such posts/claims within the MMS support forum, although we may tone them down through our own comments, but those same comments will probably not be well received in other forums. Try posting the information in an inviting, suggestive way ... and modify your claims/statements a little ... "it MAY ..." , "it did this in my case,", etc... and be prepared and allow for people to react fully.
If our goal is to share information with others, both within the forum and in other forums, then we really need to try to be sensitive to their needs. If we turn people off, just create debate in other forums, then we are really not going to be very successful in educating others, or becoming more educated ourselves.
