Broads Book Club 44 books / 6 members / 86 posts Private group for the Broads who love to read, eat, drink and discuss books.

For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with.
In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.”

Women Speak 268 books / 1047 members / 4277 posts This group is for women to speak about issues concerning women.

FOR WOMEN ONLY. No men are permitted to join.
(If you are a man and you received an invitation, it was by mistake. I'm sorry, but you are not welcome here. Kindly, remove yourself or else you shall be removed.)
Because of the nature of our conversations, if you are a girl (under the age of 18), please get parental consent prior to joining.

RULES:

NO religious debates. Take that up in a forum that is designed for religious debates. Refer to only your religious beliefs in that they help form your opinion. Do not speak of the tenants of a faith that is not yours.

No personal attacks. Do not use a member's name or any pronouns referring to a member with ANY derogatory comment, such as, naive, sexist, stupid, immature, etc.. Do not use any descriptions that demean a person's character, intelligence or belief's

Do censor your own comments prior to submission to ensure that they are respectful of the other members in the group.

Do pause before submitting in a heated discussion and take a second look at what you are about to submit.

Recommendations:
Be specific and don't use generalizations. When debating, be sure to counter specific points made and address the member who made the point.

Give people the benefit of doubt. This is the Internet therefore you don't have the vantage point of reading body language.

Ask for clarification. Ask questions. We could avoid a lot of hurt feelings if we first ask if a person is saying what we think they are saying.

State your position without expectation. The goal is to be heard and share your position. We're not here to win converts.

If you do feel attacked, address the offender directly and let them know that what they said (and be specific) hurt, upset, concerned you. And communicate this without countering with an insult. It's hard to listen when you're feeling attacked.

When stating statistics provide cite (web link, article, book).
