The wonderful thing about this forum is that everyone can respond to posts. That "respect and understanding and civil" thing goes BOTH ways. I think admin. or moderators, etc do a fantastic job of patroling these posts and I have to say, I have not seen any new members actually "treated like crap", called "stupid", or even "torn apart".....Ann is on stuff like that like a duck on a june bug! Simply because anyone expresses THEIR solution to a problem, just because it may not be what the poster wanted to hear, as long as it is done respectfully, does not invalidate that response or religate it to the "cruel, hateful, disrespectful, uncaring" bin. Those that want to continue to respond to a thread, with their own solutions to the problem, can do so....and those that feel they are not able to continue to be of any value or assistance, or are not appreciated by the poster, can step back. Those that do break the "rules of engagement", will be appropriately dealt with by ever patroling Ann, et al...!! Thank you, Ann! |
