Gotta say that a big part of any problem on here (or any internet chat-room/forum) has got to be the fact that when somebody posts something it is often very difficult to understand the body language or tonality that a message would have been said with if the message had been delivered in person, and with that said, it perhaps explains the need for posters to keep the forum on the safer side regards allowable usage of certain vocabulary and we should respect the mods to regulate this as such also.
While the majority of current posters (myself included) will agree to missing the contributions of those banned/striking in the meantime, I think the forum has been a bit crazy with the various forms of upheaval at our club, and I personally have found more recently (as an outsider of the main group of contributors) that on the odd occasions I have posted that at times I've largely wished I hadn't bothered.
I'll go further to explain that the main reason for this has been due to the way that some responses actively seem to be delivered in such a way to basically shut down another poster without any care for any/further rational conversation. e.g. I've made up my mind and you're opinion is wrong, so I'll try my best to belittle it, rather than any form of too-ing and fro-ing of intelligent debate.
Anyway, hopefully it'll all be sorted soon and we'll have a happier forum for it. Particularly if, as we hope, we get the 3pts tomorrow.
COYS!
