Subj : Rules of the Echo To : All From : Dallas Hinton Date : Wed Feb 28 2024 22:38:32 SURVIVOR is a mutual support echo for people who are experiencing or who have an interest in adversity. The content of the echo may be quite varied, but all material must have some relevance to dealing with adversity. We participate in SURVIVOR to share our experiences and our insights so that we can grow and learn together, therefore we maintain a supportive environment in this echo. We recognize the right and responsibility of the individual to make his or her own choices, and we respect one another's point of view. No participants will be included or excluded on the basis of their vital statistics, ethnic origin, religious beliefs, medical history, and/or gender identity. Sex, religion, and politics are off topic except by prior arrangement with the moderators. No form of proselytizing is allowed, including (but not limited to) advertisements for commercial products and/or commercial services, advertisements for religious literature, and "witnessing for Christ" or otherwise seeking converts to any one religion in particular. The use of pseudonyms is permissible in this echo, but no messages may be posted from an "anonymous remailer". Rulings by the moderators are not open for discussion in the echo.
