There is blame from many sides and we should all refrain from discussing other posters and their motivations as much as possible. I include myself in this. Let's let the red and green arrows do all our talking about other posters.
I understand what you are saying. I have tried for a long time to use the arrow system to address these matters. The problem is that the arrow system has not solved the problem(s). By being silent and only using the arrow system, the animosity in the forums continued and the community continued to lose members. You mention that some find it easy to "push Skip's buttons". Although I may slip, I try to be very careful in what I say and how I say it. My comments to him are directly in response to something that, in my opinion, needs to be refuted. My wish is that the forums will be helpful and informative place. But, I will not stand silent when I see postings that are hurtful to the community. I do promise that will do my best to stay on topic and keep my comments and retorts polite and respectful. |

I think the problem is, while some stay silent and use the arrows, other do not and respond to the posts in question, thus making it worse. If everyone used the arrow system I think it would work. |

i Have not attacked or insulted anyone, yet you think you can, take a hike.  you insult the vast majority of users on this board on a daily basis... maybe not to the point that they need to use the arrows or complain, but your general attitude, USE OF CAPS, and repetitive negativity insults me on a daily basis... it's not that I have come here to discuss this without provocation.... I was enjoying the forums for the last few weeks... and then all of a sudden it's like a tornado came through here and turned it all upside down. in addition... i would hardly call what i said an attack... i simply stated that maybe you would incite less conflict if you stopped using the caps lock to yell... it upsets people. what i truly wish is that everyone who enjoyed the last few weeks would use their ability to block users and then people who wish to cause unrest would just be takling to themselves.... sadly human nature does not allow many to do so.... | | | | -JoN | | | | Last edited: by ruineddaydreams |

Are we supposed to use this forum for this kind of trial? Are you all judges? | | | | Last edited: by Harry Cover |

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.

| | Posted: | | | | Just for info, this thread should not have been started (no insult meant to you Taro) and if nothing else should have been locked after the 3rd post.
This thread, no matter how well intentioned, was an invitation to start bashing from all sides.
Ken. please lock this thread, before things are said that will "Insult" another.
Thanks... |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree Charlie but as to the insulting another...it's too late, it was too late when the thread started and insult was only added to injury when ken did not shut it down. This thread and the many others of similar nature should have been blown up a long time ago, but for some reason ken seems to believe that such behavior is acceptable. I don't. I would have never allowed threads of this nature to begin with, let allow them to fester teh way he has and i would have severly sanctioned most of the participants, but that's just me. Thank god i have more important fish to fry, right now, but I am still watching and i am insulted. I will say something that my wife has said many times, but she is better at disengaging than i am, but along the lines of judgement remember people you WILL have to answer for your behavior, all of it, including here and you won't have to answer to me, none of you have clean hands, including Kathy. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!
