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.

Vaccinations are infammitory because there is a small, but militant movement of parents who believe vaccinations are the casue of Autism in children. There has NEVER been any scientific proof to this, but they believe it. As such, they refuse to get their children vaccinanted and hence open them up to be infected with such oldies but goodies like Polio. These parents are totaly ignorant and are causing their children a great inservice, not to mention the possibilty of a horrible disease. Park Slope is just the type of place that would breed these types of idiots.
I give the best parenting advice because I’m not burdened by having any children.
Have your children learn Spanish or Mandarin in high school!!!
heather, my parenting advice would be to get a cat. Cheaper, quieter, no diapers- although the hairballs can be an issue. 🙂
kidding of course. I adore kids and was very involved with my niece and nephew growing up.
DIBS- you are spot on. It’s a bit repelling, actually.
Perhaps we should take it over… I would welcome your parenting advice!
Why would vaccinations be considered an inflammatory subject?
whatever happened to the days when parents actually figured stuff out on their own and didnt need lists and the internet to tell them what they should be doing with their kids and how they should be doing it? sheeple much!?

I just registered and added my 2 cents to the Legal Age question. I’m sure I’ll become a welcomed poster there.
Yes, but it’s funnier than the PSP has been lately.
