A friendly reminder against unfriendly channel behaviour

Every Q knows that Goddesses is a great mix of all sorts of types. Goddesses are never as simple as one thing, but they all have things in common:

1. Amazing outfits and dress-sense.
2. Sexy, Smart, Intelligent and Kind
3. Tolerant of others and accepting of differences.
4. Fun loving, Dance happy and chatty (when inclined)

There are though, some things, that are very much not of the Goddesses. Mostly, because we are all of the above I don't need to mention them much but in recent times there has been a little bit of loss of sight of some of these godlessly aspects.

Whilst we are a wonderful, flirty and sexy fleet, one thing no Q shall ever be is:

1. Pushy
2. Bullying
3. Sexist (though hatred of 'the things that man does is ok' *giggles*)
4. Harassing (and ESPECIALLY no sexual harassment, not even in jest)
5. Aggressive towards other (even if 'asked for' a Q is bigger and can rise above, to the side and generally all around better than this)

Any of the above behaviours won't be tolerated in channel, but mostly other Q will call their sisterhood on their behaviour and that should be an end to the matter. However, persistent and on going acts of the above (without temper or attempt to make right) will be sad grounds for Q exile. So far we have not lost a single Q to such things and its my fond hope this shall never change.

Finally, there is one thing, above all others which is something that is immediate grounds for dismissal from the Q and I need every Q to carefully watch for this and report it. All reports will be taken seriously and investigated and no action will be taken until facts are clear. Though when facts ARE clear whom ever does this will be immediately expelled regardless of their rank, status or anything else. I am speaking of a person acting in any fashion towards other members which shows a disrespect for women and the integrity of their own sexual choices! A person does not have to agree with or particularly support any set of choices but they must respect, honour and above all make sure that each and every Q never feels pressure from any other Q to be anything except for themselves and a result of their own careful decision process. Its particularly important that no one is denied. A Q is what she says she is, and no one except her has the right to dictate what that means or what she must be. Anyone behaving contrary to this in an open, uncaring fashion (e.g. does not listen to objections and continues this behaviour) will be bumped down to a mortal faster than light reaches earth.

Having said all that, Q always welcome discussion and debate if held respectfully in channel (and when objections are raised taken into personal chats with people who wish to conduct them). We all learn from each other and there is no one way, except the way we find for ourselves by finding our own true will (though if there is anything close, its being good and caring to others and doing what we know is right). True will is a not as simple as what we desire or what we require, but its finding that thread in ourselves which makes us happy and productive, giving us our own personal sense of purpose and fulfilment. I recommend all Q seek this always and remember than even when our individual wills clash with others, that finding the way to keep out wills without squashing another's ability to be happy, loving and purposeful is the goal of all life.

Blessed be,
Love,
Serry and her mortal
