I, too, am sorry that anyone doesn't feel welcomed at any time. It does happen, though.

We have been asked not to discuss sensitive issues, specifically sexual ones, in the MAIN ROOM, and to take them to SOCIAL, so be aware of that when you enter the SOCIAL CHAT ROOM.

We're trying to keep the guidelines here and not cause any liability issues for DocJohn, too, you know?

If a chat is discussing sensitive sexual issues and there are minors in there, well, you know, any parent can cause a ruckus over anything but... it just isn't good chat at that time, imo.

It would help if everyone who was a minor was tagged in some way so we could just automatically know, but even that would be unfair, imo. If all the minors would put their age in the profile, that would help. I often check someone's profile when I dont' know them or I'm unsure. Often it lacks any useful information.

I'm sorry anyone is offended. Being a teen and feeling left out is a common issue for teens anywhere. Something we all had to work through on our own I think?

DocJohn has posted a thread in General for all of us about chat rooms.

I hope anyone entering a chat that suddenly shuts down or if they are asked a particular question won't take offense, but realize those already in chat might think you won't appreciate the conversation taking place. Members here do that to/for me. I take no offense.
