Thinking of Leaving
I don’t know, guys, but lately I’ve been a little frustrated with some of the things getting slammed on here. I wasn’t censured personally but some threads were closed while I was participating in them and enjoying them for what seemed to be the most minimal beginings of controversy. I understand the rules and agree that they have their place but I have been involved in a couple of threads lately that were closed because of controversial subjects because ONE person took large offense and notified a moderator instead of PM-ing the offender and dealing with it personally. It seems like some people want to make an issue personal whether it was intended to be or not, take quotes out of context, accuse others of hate or bigotry, etc, etc, etc. Most of us here are old enough to let some things slide and not get all up in arms over stuff that really doesn’t matter but the times that it has happened have gotten to me. Most of us are quite respectful and, in context, our posts are almost always friendly and mature in tone. There is so much useful information here and the friends I have made are wonderful, but this place is starting to get like youtube where any goober with a keyboard can take offense and rail to the heavens (or moderators) instead of dealing with it in a personal and adult manner. I’m just venting but frankly it has made me sick to see things degenerate this way. If you must post back be respectful and helpful because I really may take some time out of here.
