I'm absolutely amazed that this thread which began with a very
simple one-line request for assistance has gravitated into a
sucession of self-righteous, moralistic pontifications conducted,
at times, with only a little more dignity than a bar-room brawl.
I think it is arrogant in the extreme for anybody to reply to this
request as if they alone know what's really behind this entreaty and
to then proceed to address themselves solely to this "hidden"
feature. As I have noted before in this thread, the OP said
absolutely nothing about throwing in the towel as far as parenting
is concerned.
To second-guess a parents motivations in this manner is, I believe,
unhelpful, irresponsible and insulting.
While the majority of the "extra-curricular" points raised are valid
and moralistically praiseworthy, they are not directly relevant
(except perhaps as a footnote) to the OP's request.
By the same token, I disagree with canabalism and child-slavery but
I don't launch into an attack on these matters everytime I post to
an NG. Of the 23 posts in this thread up to now, only two have in
any way addressed themselves to the OP's concern. That's less than
10%.
No wonder the OP hasn't posted back.

Um, you can't always get what you want. Sometimes you get what you
need.

Don't you think that, in general, it is more appropriate for the
parents to decide what is needed for their children's upbringing
rather than you who knows nothing of their circumstances.

Um, am I deciding anything other than just giving my opinion? The
premise of your question is flawed.

This is a newsgroup. If you don't want to get a wide range of
peoples' opinions, then bugger off.

Indeed, I both welcome and enjoy listening to other peoples opinions.
However, I do not at all feel obliged to agree with them.

Did I say you needed to?

I trust you
are not pouting because I didn't agree with yours.

ROFL! Like I care what a stick in the mud like you thinks about my
opinion.

Actually I do. I wouldn't want a stick in the mud like you to agree
with my opinion.

Actually, it was less what you said than how you said it that I found
objectionable.

Ah, the style over substance, judge the book by its cover kinda bloke,
are you?! I wouldn't have guessed that!!! [Heavy sarcasm]

If you truly want to get a point across such that
appropriate action is taken in respect of it, it is always much more
fruitful to couch your view in considerate, empathic and diplomatic
tones.

No. That is what you'd want. But it is not what you derserve.

The "in your face" approach that you appear to favor is more likely to
lead to your views being flushed with your other outpourings and duly
forgotten about.

Again you are speaking about yourself. Personally, I distrust people
that don't speak their mind, and put on the affectation of being
considerate, empathetic, and diplomatic.

I am empathic, so I tend to give people what they need over what the
want. To me, that is more honest, than being a vapid little suckup.

The fact that you chose to attack a point of view that was neither
expressed by the OP nor,

See, that's where you are wrong. My original post in answer to the OP
was not an attack.

"Parent Guidance is more than suggested. It is required."

Is that an attack to you? Merely a statement of my opinion.

"All you do by putting technological controls on them is to abdicate
your
parental responsibility, and what kind of example is that showing your
kids?"

Is asking a simple question an attack? Perhaps you feel attacked by the
question I just asked you?

"And more than likely, your kids are now or will soon be much more
computer literate than you are, and they'll get around whatever you try
to do to stop them."

At that is the end of my original reply to the OP. I see no attack at
all. The last sentence is probably true of all kids and there parents.
Eventually the little brats find ways around their parents rules.

in my opinion, implicit in the wording of the
post is even more reason to believe that your point would be taken
more seriously were it enunciated with a little more grace and
elegance. Paul

The affectation of grace and elegance is just sugar-coating. To me, it
would be a lie. But then again. I don't see a damned thing in my
original reply in this thread that was an attack at all. That you see
some attack in what I wrote, says a lot more about you, quite frankly,
but I doubt you have the capacity to see it.

Good day, sir!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
