Thank you :)Jun 11, 2015 at 9:57 am #2206318Hello Everyone,
The vision of our forum community is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for participants that is encouraging and positive, where our participants (whether editors, guest authors, members, or other community participants) can be built up rather than torn down (please review our forum guidelines here).
With that in mind, a few notes regarding the discussion that resulted in this thread, most of which our editors and myself have now removed:
1. First, if you have some constructive feedback for our editors that is unrelated to the content (grammar, spelling, etc.), please submit it to [email protected] – we all monitor this address and can directly address the feedback. This will generally elicit a more rapid response by us so we can fix any issues in the article. We really do appreciate your eye for detail and are eager to fix production and other inaccuracies in our published content.
2. Second, please keep the forum threads attached directly to the articles focused on discussing the content in the article, so they don't get sidetracked by unrelated issues.
Again, please keep your feedback encouraging and positive. This may seem redundant, but we really wish to cultivate a safe and welcoming community where newcomers are encouraged to participate and become positive contributors as well. A culture of negativity is not one that is particularly welcoming, especially to new participants.
If we can focus our energies on creating a positive community that considers what we all share in common – a love of the outdoors and of the philosophy of lightweight travel, all of us will benefit greatly.
Best Regards,
Ryan Jordan

I read this thread when many comments were still available. None of them seemed rude to me and one of them (from the Idester – BPL's voice of reason) was offering to help. I'm surprised to see them deleted.Jun 11, 2015 at 9:41 pm #2206576Sarah,
Thank you :)Jun 11, 2015 at 9:43 pm #2206577@William Thank you! I hope that I can continue to bring stories to the table that are of interest and inspire people to get out enjoy the real magic of life.
Jun 15, 2015 at 2:12 pm #2207450Thanks Ryan, I look forward to seeing all of the positive changes and watching as the vision of a more supportive membership transforms BPL into a welcoming place for everyone.
Jun 15, 2015 at 2:18 pm #2207451Ditto!
Jun 15, 2015 at 3:24 pm #2207485Nice article
Jun 20, 2015 at 9:29 am #2208704I think calling for a warm welcome forum, while at the same time revoking access to the article was odd.
Must have been a software glitch. Seems to be readable again.
Jun 20, 2015 at 2:16 pm #2208752"Again, please keep your feedback encouraging and positive."
So, no constructive criticism? Just remind everyone how perfect we all are? Or maybe I'm misconstruing the intent with that comment (I hope)?
