I am not asking for any replies to this thread I just simply would like to state my opinion

What has really happened on this board? When I began providing 3 years ago things were alot different. There was another site where everyone could post and not feel intimidated. We all spoke our feeling and concerns and It seemed to me as a more respectful board. I did not second guess any post I posted I did not think twice about responding to any thread. Now... I have decided to just post my schedule and once in awhile respond to a thread.

Whatever happened, it's all my fault.

Seriously though, I could go on and on about this subject. I will save that discussion for a less public venue. If I were to give my take on things, it would be sure to inflame a few sensitive people.

Faith,

In my experience, you're right, but it's certainly a common enough occurrence. Yours, too, I'll wager. How does the old saying go about a few bad apples?

Remember, too, that this board is WAY bigger than the few posters who try to dominate it. The sentiments expressed here are not always widely held.

We all have it within our power to treat others respectfully, and ought to; the failure to do so, however, shouldn't cause anyone to feel intimidated.

But if it were within your power, what would you change or like to see changed? This board is completely valueless without your participation and the participation of other ladies like you.

While a thick skin helps, there is no reason for personal attacks. Argue the logic, do not attack the person!

For the most part, I read the first page of comments on a thread. After that they tend to veer off subject and that's when the bloodletting begins. Sad but true.

That IS true; sometimes, they even "veer off" sooner, whether the topic is worthwhile or not.
