Not to be overly difficult, but.....
There are a few who seem to me to be those like John spoke of to whom you ought not say a greeting. Posting on the profile page of such a person seems much like saying a greeting to them. As it is, I found when I liked a certain one's comment, it caused someone else to stumble, and I was not able to placate him by saying that even villains behave now and then. Strictly speaking, I think he was probably right.
Of course, I can say it is his hang-up, not mine - I'll like whatever I want. But I read the nature of Paul's counsel that you should yield on things like this and not insist on your rights. If this were some special venue where only ones impervious to being stumbled need apply, that would be one thing - the internet is not the congregation. But it advertises on Twitter as a fine gathering spot for Jehovah's people - inviting one and all to 'taste and see.'
Maybe the problem won't come up. I'll know it when i see it.

I feel the same way as you @TrueTomHarley I joined the @admin over here so that I would have space for my files and to share what I find.
This is not a JW forum. I just brought many JW’s over when I started posting on here.
This is not a place for the weak though. I would calll this being in the real world. There are scary and rude people here. Not too different than Facebook or Twitter.
For those who want an arena for “JW only” they could always start a closed group and start vetting people on their own if they wanted to. I don’t want to take that on.

"This is not a JW forum. I just brought many JW’s over when I started posting on here."
I understand that and I don't disapprove necessarily - occasional grousing to the contrary. I rather like it here, on the principle of every writer needing a villain and not just a muse. I don't engage directly (well, usually) with those I think are really poisonous, and I like the challenge of framing things before people who I know are going to try to shoot it down. I feel as did Frank Sinatra: 'If i can make it here, I'll make it anywhere.'
I still won't be able (probably) to leave posts directly upon the profiles of certain ones. I don't know how to get around the problem short of non-participation altogether. While it may not be a JW forum, it certainly will seem to be from the standpoint of any who, like me, discover it from a Twitter feed.
And I must say I am (or was - I've gotten used to it) astounded at all the confidential material that appears here from so many persons. None of it is considered "secret," but some of it is confidential and even that which is not was not intended for public distribution.
