Sometimes, people on here forget their manners.
I mean......... if I were in front of you - would you answer me the same way? A little bit of "putting the brain in gear before you put your words in motion" would help. And if you have been hearing about the meanness so much - well don't you think that it is true and that some people are offended? This should be a place where people are not afraid to ask a question - and you know........... it is. That is all. |
I kind of addressed a little of what you are saying in my response before I saw this.
As I said in my reply, I do not only reply to the OP and I think that is the case with a lot of posters. A lot of people post questions and then never come back for the answers or responds, but this is a public forum and there could be tons of people that read that and are looking for answers and opinions.
So IMO because one specific question may be asked, if it's on a topic and there could be helpful info passed along, I think it's important for that to get out there!
I don't know about a "good old boys club", but I think the longer you are here and if you really read tons of posts on all different forums, you see the good, bad & ugly!
