Hi Viv
Yep I know where you coming from...
I'm not aware of any member on this forum who promotes a High carb diet, granted I suppose it depends where you draw your marks to what consitutes, a low, moderate or high diet though..
Going to your main pointed, sometimes something has to be said, otherwise what you find happens within a forum, instead of a forum that provides information and support sourced from many ideas and methods... You actually end up with a forum that is based on one opinion and method alone which over time slowly desends into providing no information or support for those that are either new to diabetes or are starting to struggle with there condition..
As to what/when should moderators step in, moderating is a difficult task, I know as not only do I moderate on another forum, I've moderatated on this forum in the past... As you have to consider are you removing/editing someones post fairly without being biased? If you decide to ban a member, sometimes it's pretty easy to make the decision, spammer kicked to touch.. Some breaking the forum rules in such a manner it's plain to see... But what about the ones who seem to be complying with forum policies, but there are actually posting elsewhere, spiteful and unkind remarks, allocations, belittling and daming comments at members on this forum, because are not percived to have the same view point or singing off there hymn sheet???
At the end of the day, it's your choose if you decide to read the threads or not, there is even a facility in the User Control Pannel where you can pick your friends and foals.. Also block posts by members that you do not wish to read..
