Last week’s news that the popular Park Slope Parents list and website was considering charging members a $25 annual fee elicited a wide range of response from its users and others (see the poll we ran here) as well as plenty of news coverage. And now there’s another response: A band of dissenters has started a new free list targeting parents in the Park Slope area called The Other Park Slope Parents list. The group describes itself as “Fall off of parents who were a part of the Park Slope Parents list and believe that community lists should be FREE.” For now, moderation is “light” and they’re hoping that people “think twice before you post on a potentially flammable subject (ie vaccinations).” This should be interesting.
