Forum Enviornment

[bill lambeth]

At times, I feel guilty for only taking away from this forum. So many things have been taught to me by just sitting back and clicking away. I, for one, have learned a lot from screenman's posts, and those of many others. I've also been able to look past any negativity that I see and get the most out of what is offered from the talent that this board possesses. With that said, this board is essentially a "community." In my full-time vocation as a law enforcement officer, I know that this requires us to take the "good" with the "bad." No foul here. Keep it open, keep it free, but keep it real...and before you post, think first about keeping it civil. If we were all in a room, we'd be toasting one another and slapping each other on the back. Don't let the anonymity of the internet allow you to let your alligator mouth override your hummingbird butt, and yet, get some alligator skin instead.

Me too. A very good post. I have always seen the forum as a pub and as such I am sure I cannot get on with everyone, likewise many will not like me. Also we have the cross pond thing going on as well as many other things, not only am I thick but I have thick skin as well so most but not all insults slip by.

What I am not keen on is one on one vindictiveness which sometimes occur on some forums that I no longer post on.
