GRRRRR.... I wish there was a way to easily put this whole thing to rest. Since there's not, lets try to work it out amicably (as I believe we have most all other disagreements on this board).
Some questions....
C@Y, you haven't posted again since you started this thread. Can you please provide some examples of what you were referring to in your initial post.
Quin, are you really saying you are leaving the board over this thread? If so, why? Since when does someone not liking the way you post get you so riled up? One thing that I think most people like about you is that you are willing to speak your mind regardless of whether or not others agree with your thoughts. While some may regard that as "too strong" of a personality. I believe that personalities (all types) are what make a great community. And that's really what this board is... a great community.
4Sum, in regards to the first paragraph of your post. If you let other people's opinions of your opinion count that much, then why have one. not trying to slam you here. But if you really have an opinion to share on other subjects, then share it. Don't let the fear of someone else disagreeing with you stop you from doing so. That goes for everyone.
CanadianCouple, Uriah has included his pics in his profile on Swing Lifestyle - <a href="http://uriah.swinglifestyle.com" target="_blank">http://uriah.swinglifestyle.com</a> , unfortunately he didn't include the headshot
If we all stopped posting because we feared someone else wouldn't like what we said then no one would post, and then what would the point of this place be?
The point of this site IS to share opinions and to give advice and to in general have a great community. Having a great community involves doing more than just focusing your attention on one topic (in this case swinging). But rather allowing ourselves to be more rounded and discuss other issues as well.
