Okay,

Well We don't post all that much these days, but not for having any lack of opinion, but most often just not wanting to draw fire for what would undoubtedly be an unpopular viewpoint about certain things.

Needless to say, there is a constituency on any message board that are poseurs. That cannot be helped, regardless of subject matter. I do think that people have shown a tendency to jump to conclusions lately a bit more readily than they have in the past.

There are some strong personalities on this board and sometimes the desire to defend or present an opinion eclipses the original point of the posting. There's nothing wrong with that as long as there's an effort to understand each other and allow each other's points of view (even when we think that they are stupid), and cut people some slack when they might not have said something quite the way they may have intended to.

It's a message board. It's entertaining, informative, enlightening, perplexing, helpful...but you shouldn't take it too seriously either!

Cheers!
