Default Re: I'm in an Uh-Oh and feeling crushed...need some input

In May of 2001, when I discovered this board, one of the first posts I read was, "You are an asshole, (Screenname)!" "What a pity," I thought, "that such juvenile behavior exists on a board with such fine potential."

Nevertheless, I continued to read the posts. When I was invited to become a Moderator, I accepted, hoping to be involved in the effort then underway to discourage "flaming" in favor of courteous and respectful discussions.

The Mods on this board are dedicated to making this website to be among the (if not THE) friendliest swinger-oriented site available. We've come a long way and I, for one, am proud of our efforts.

It's important that we recognize the difference between a difference of opinion and unnecessary insulting posts. Differences of opinion are never chastized; flaming always is.

Now, Folks, can we please leave the discussion of flaming behind and get on with what we do best: helping people deal with challenging situations involving intermarital sexual relations?

TransplantdBrit, please accept my personal apologies for the off-topic turn this discussion has taken. As a Moderator, I should have been more alert and tried to turn the thread around earlier.

Mr. Alura
