I've been in Minti for about 10 months or so. First time I was here, I found Minti is an interesting place....place to share/exchange some parenting experiences in order to learn from other people mistakes or success to make us a better parents for our children. But somehow, lately I found a lot of people got hurt as well. I suppose when something growing you can't only get something better, but you might find some people get hurt too. I found lot of members seem thought that Minti is a place to compete, to show that they're better than other parent. They blame the voting system, they blame other member who don't have the same opinions with them.

I'm not a saint or even counselor. But I could only share my thoughts that here at Minti we are not competing with anybody. Those voting are only the way we said that we agree or not with your way of thinking, but then again it doesn't mean that you are better or worse than other members. Each member have their rights to stand up on their own opinions as long as it doesn't abuse the different opinions of others.

I knew, we only human, we make mistakes, we could be stubborn,.....but again we could also try to live in harmony, apologize for our mistakes or accept other people apology. Come on, we come here to make friends and to help each other. We come here free, none of us being paid or anything to participate in Minti. I'm sure the Minti team are appreciating your participation in all kind of ways (the good and polite manner ways, of course). Giving good example for new members to be, and don't scare those new members either.

Anyway, I just hope that I could open a little bit of your humanity heart. Be nice to each other, and don't worry much about the voting. Like I said, and like some of us here believe that we're here to share and NOT TO COMPETE.

Have a good day everyone.
