I had to put a stop to a conversation on my yahoo Nano group when it diverged into religion and politics, and not in a good way. The original topic had been skirting on the edge of getting out of hand for a couple weeks, but tonight I had to put a complete stop to it.
I HATE to have to do that. Makes me look like the bad guy. But if I don't stop it before it gets out of hand, lots of people's feelings get hurt and then next thing you know people are leaving the list and the list dies.
I don't want that to happen, I like our list, and am judging by the numbers (261) that people like the list enough to stay. So, I had to do it.
Sometimes being a List Mom isn't so much fun.
I'm a subscriber to NanoWriters and no, you didn't look like the bad guy or gal, in your case. Everyone agreed, I think, those sort of topics can turn bad real quick.
