I have noticed some members expressing dissatisfaction with the conduct of new members, in posts that I think should have taken the form of private messages to the new member. And a consensus about the propriety of a new member's posts ought be reached via private posts between objecting old timers.And the consensus should be conveyed to the newcomer privately. This would be kinder to the newcomer, and serve the board's purposes just as well. And, indeed, it is so easy to just ignore inappropriate posts that this seems the best way to handle them.Let us not have any kangaroo courts.
