There is a harshness to a certain percentage of FR posters that I dislike and that I think takes away from the seriousness of the serious debates. (As a poster of many silly pictures and dumb jokes, we'll leave that part out of it!)
I've been posting since November. It's still hard to know when to punch the abuse button unless it is so obvious that *everyone* would punch it.
I'm still learning the ropes but a little bit more adherence to the forum rules seems appropriate to me if we can do it without becoming the PC-style speech police.
I hope you have read some of the Terri threads then. Those were bad days.
