I got this from a member today, a member that I have a GREAT DEAL of respect for, and trust. Good guy, and sees clearly how things are going. And they ain't going good somedays here.
Ya'll wanted a relaxed atmosphere. You got it, but, some can't really handle it. So, here is what our friend had to say.
Think about it the next time you hit the reply button.
"Anyway, I just wanted to give you my opinion on something, and I hope it doesn't sound like I'm whining, (Maybe I am! lol) but it seems that in some of the discussions here we're drifting off into some real nasty personal attacks over the last few months. There's one going on right now in the Universal Forum. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate the more relaxed atmosphere here but I can't help but think that if someone new signed up here who didn't know the folks and personalities and where we come from, that they might be a bit turned off and afraid to post or just quietly not come back. I'm just thinking that even if we strongly disagree with one another we can do so without vicious personal attacks and in a way that will be a plus for the board rather then a negative. I'm guilty of things too, so I need to start with myself I guess. I really would like to see this board grow into something special for the sportsmen of PA. I don't know, just thinking out load. Talk to you later."
