You know, while I was sorry to see Skip say he was leaving as he has a lot to contribute, I am glad he has returned.

Also, I have to say that I find all the comments here amusing but also very sad as no-one is prepared to give an inch. Some of you just need to to agree to disagree and we may all get along better. Some of the backbiting and sniping that goes on in this forum, as a general rule (and I am NOT trying to pick on anyone at all), makes me think that some of you have never left kiindergarten. We are all supposed to be adults but anyone reading some of the threads in the forum would never believe it.

I slowed down my comments largely because of that and generally only visit the general discussion form for threads I am interested in and those that catch my interest. I think that in general people are too quick to find fault with individuals rather that take note of what is being said. You have to realise that sometimes a language difference can cause things to come across very differently than intended. We are all adults, so please, can we at least try an behave like adults and not like squabbling children? I would like to see less nit picking because of who said something and more recognition of what is said and maybe there will be less acrimony in these forums.

This earned you a


... and Skip, even though you weren't really gone, it's good to see you involved again

Hi Guys,

I thought the star system was going to put an end to the bickering and sniping. Go figure! Oh where are the mod's to nip this in the bud?

We all have our faults and should learn to love and tolerate each other despite those faults so we can live together in a healthy community that is free of conceitedness and condescension.


P.S.: Skip is a fascist bastard.

Was this satire? 

If not: Get well soon!

HAND!
