the forum climate

Hello
Iwas a frequent member of this board several years ago, and i must say that while I found it to be very informative
and rather enjoyable. After sometime I just gave up and left because it seemed that too many people were using
this forum to get all warm and fuzzy with others, far too often there was an "apology post" and even some whining.

I hope all is better now. so having said that...heres to a new session.

Regards
Dingleimage

    I like the warm and fuzzy sometimes - reminds me im talking to real people in a way, and not just a glowing box on my desk.

    That's been replaced by "I'm leaving this place", threads and the inevitable followup of "Okay, I'm back."

    All I know is that there is great info here, and quite a few nice people. But whatever you do, try not to be human and express frustration or any emotion, because I guess that's not tolerated here. Another thing you should not do is to (in good humor) try to humble yourself. that also gets you in trouble. Other than that, it seems like a good place.

    I agree. In between all the silly replies and dumb answers (just to get your post count high) there is some good information.

    You might get away with it after you've been here a while, but it certainly isn't a good strategy for newbies.

    So only those who have been here for a while and reached some level of acceptance by the herd are allowed to bellyache without being slammed?

    Thin skinned and a bit melodramatic on my part, but that's human emotion for you. There certainly isn't a need for the level of nastiness that some people have expressed as it relates to my childish behavior, is there?

    The climate is however you want it to be. You will learn in time which threads to read and which to pass on. Its all about what you make it and what you let bother you.

    I listen to your voice like it was music, [ y o u ' r e ] the song I want to know.

    image

    I'd give you the world, just because...

    Speak to me of loved ones, favorite places and things, loves lost and gained, tears shed for joy and sorrow, of when I see the sparkle in your eye ...
    and the blackness when the dream dies, of lovers, fools, adventurers and kings while I sip my wine and contemplate the Chi.
