[nabs] SPIDER: Students, Professionals and Individuals with Disabilities toExchange andReachout

[Laura Glowacki]

A closed platform isn't the problem.  What put me off was the comment about 
certain views not being welcome vs. other views.

Using a social networking platform, which by its nature is fairly open, 
makes it difficult to control membership etc.  So I have no problem with 
having to request to join.
