Dear HumbleDollar Community,
Last week there was a forum post penned by Dick Quinn on shopping carts. This post was an inappropriate and unkind rant/lament that had no place on HumbleDollar. We can all agree that this post should have been better moderated and that the comment thread which turned acrimonious should have been stopped.
Going forward, I kindly ask commentors take a mindful pause before commenting to prevent further igniting an already incendiary post. And I kindly ask those who pen forum posts to think carefully about the personal finance lessons or observations they are sharing. HumbleDollar provides a wealth of information from both its content and its community, so questions are always welcome.
My husband Jonathan often spoke to me about the overall kindness, civility and intelligence of the HumbleDollar community. Please do not prove him wrong.
I sympathize, but suggest you need an active editor to monitor and add compelling content similar to Jonathon’s for HD to continue.
Thanks, Elaine for that reminder. Let’s all try to remember Jonathan’s lessons.
Elaine,
Thanks for reaching out to the HD Community and for the gentle reminder about what makes HumbleDollar unique and special. I think we all miss Jonathan’s writing and editing talent. I also greatly miss his friendship, kindness, and generousity.
Best,
Ricki
