[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 647332, member: 14557"] If change can't be made without altering our old messages, why do it at all? Why not just ask us refraining from using difficult child (notice that many have now just moved to use the term with spaces to avoid it altering to difficult child) or any other word, that you think is not for the greater good of the board. Then let it for us to decide if we want to call our loved ones difficult or simply for example son/daughter1 and son/daughter2 and so on. All you managed to obtain by altering our messages is lots of 'difficult child's in old posts and lots of 'difficult child's in newer ones. If 'difficult child' really is a magic search term that will make people whose kids have neurological/mental health/addiction issues find this board, that of course is great, but are you really sure that is, that is going to happen? I have nothing against spelling out acronyms that actually mean the same thing, psychiatrist instead of p d o c or borderline personality disorder instead of B P D is fine for me and latter change can even help someone to find this board. But difficult child and difficult child are not synonyms. [/QUOTE]
