<p>Hi again bluebayou:</p>
<p>Confused as to why you didn’t answer the question I asked you in my previous post about your son’s experience? I’m really curious to see if he participated in the same program as I am! If not, we may have more to chat about :)</p>
<p>You are absolutely correct though, this is an open space for open discussion, and I have no ability to restrict what kinds of postings occur in this thread. Hence why I politely REQUESTED, rather than DEMANDED, that posts be kept both cordial and on topic. There’s no need to rabble rouse amongst ourselves, we all have better things to do on the other side of the keyboard!</p>
<p>On that note, I would really appreciate it if you would refrain from contributing further posts that have nothing to do with the thread and just waste time with petty arguments. I’m not here to argue, but rather to collect information and perhaps have some friendly, non confrontational conversation along the way.</p>
<p>Happy posting! Would love to pick your brain about your son’s experience with the State Department if he did indeed participate in the same internship program as I am about to!</p>
