It is so easy to be mean when you are a faceless being. It does take a little effort (not much though!) to be nice to people. So if we all put in a little effort, the world will be a wonderful place !

Having said all that, i have not experienced any problems with this site in the short time I have been here. I absolutely LOVE this site. The people are caring and helpful and full of knowledge. To those people who are holding back due a bad experience - give it another shot! Don't let one or two bad apples deprive you of a great experience. Max will be 2 in May and Sasha just turned 1 in January. I look forward to may years of sharing with the people here.

So true. Sometimes it's just good to step away for a moment, and not take it all to heart.
