You mean you don't think female circumcision is comparable to male circumcision? I do not understand. Are you saying it is ok to circumsize girls in other countries because that's the "thing to do" there?ljmahr said:

You really think this is abuse? I think abuse is doing something intentionally to hurt someone. Parents who circ. have their child's best interest at heart. How can that be abuse? I could just as easily say I think you are abusing your kids by making them live in a place that is cult-like. You are just crazy to think that is just ludicrous to compare circ to abuse or cutting off ears and toes. BTW if I was doing it for the best interest of my child I would cut all of their ears and toes off.</r>

I am only asking this out of curiousity, and I tried to find the info myself on the web, to no avail.

I'm sorry this whole thing is insane!
I am so done with all of this!!!!
This two-tiered justice system that punishes those who are not liked, and allow others to ruin the capacity and reputable board that i joined....that i <I>thought</I> i joined a few months ago.
In a few short months i have seen, for example, super mario say whatever he wants with no to no avail, yulia "stirr the pot" with all of her glory and yet fooser gets threatened to be banned again, if he doesn't stop making his jokes. Let's weight that out.....jokes (that no one takes seriously) or someone who constantly causes grief to members. And when i mention that this doesn't make sense i get "Its none of my concern". So i ask you, WHAT IS MY CONCERN??? When does anyone else's say make any difference on this board?
I know i am not the only one who feels this way, but if i have to be the one who says it i'm fine with that. If i become banned or my post deleted because it is not relavent then what does that say? We can say whatever we want so long as it doesn't upset the universal balance of the board....which happens any time a debate happens.
I'm sorry, but SOMETHING needs to get done............The funny thing is....something like this shouldn't bother someone, because its ONLY the internet......but you would think you would be safe from these kinds of things with other like minded parents.....

this is not a debate. What a mod says goes. If that upsets you, I am sorry and you are right this is not the place for you. We handle all cases that we feel go against the beliefs of this board. We enforce the rules. All members are treated equally.meow_173 said:

Lissa, all the moderators are aware of the games that are being played behind the scenes to cause problems, and we are aware of all those who are involved. I understand that this will not make you and others happy as of today.Lissa said:
I think you are a good mom, fun, and interesting person to have part of this parenting forum, but that doesn't mean we shall tolerate activities that you have been apart of. You know exactly what I am talking about just as I do. You'll be at risk of having your access revoked if you choose to continue.
