I say anything goes as long as we share our opinions, advice and information with as little rancor as possible and stick to the forum rules.
I know when I first joined this forum, I wouldn't reply to some posters, they were so abrupt and short-tempered, to me. I got over it and began to post my passions but many here don't and never, ever post on anything and some won't post on anything controversial - I've gotten the PM's and emails saying that from some members. I hate that that happens here but it does. I think that's the thing Ann is trying to stop with this thread. But if she adds that we should stop sounding preachy, a lot of us might be in trouble, me first!!! lol |
I agree, I don't mind if someone else is preachy, it's just not effective in making me change my mind! Yes, I too get a lot of PM's saying that people would like to post something, but they are afraid. I guess because I'm on the welcoming committee I hear more from new members, but this is a definite "perception" many newbies have. As Doctor Phil says, "perception is reality" it may not be your reality, but it is reality.
