I'm reopening soon, but would like to review the User Agreement before we all start posting again.
First off, this is the television forum. You can discuss the television show, or other media venues concerning the Gosselins, provided they are credible resources and not just gossip and conjecture (I'll get to that in a minute). "Tell all" blogs with unverifiable insider information are

. Celebrity gossip belongs in TAO, provided it takes place within the UA.
Now on to the UA.

This would include speculating about mental status and hurling around accusations of abuse.
I think the User Agreement is fairly self-explanatory, but if you have any questions, I would be more than happy to kick it around with you via PM.
Please, just keep the spirit of Mothering in mind when posting. You don't have to agree with this family. You don't have to like them. But you do need to keep the purpose of MDC in mind when posting:
