Yupp, it's strange to observe how some users went into hiding during the absence of a user and now reappeared again. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

| | Posted: | | | | Just so we're clear and that everyone understands the point of my post it was *not* Skip directed in the least bit. I merely said that there were 3 epic failures of threads within a week's time. I did *not* say "only been a week since (such and such) happened". So for all you that are insinuating and reading between the lines (You included Skip, which is why your post upset me) can you please reread what I wrote with this in mind.... Just because Skip and I have had our moments and I have openly been frustrated with him, does not mean that every single one of my posts has some kind of hidden meaning. This is exactly why this forum is having so many troubles and things aren't improving. Forum members pin hole people into certain "cliques" ("Spotters", "Skip defenders", etc.) on all sides of different arguments and base their opinions on each post with that kind of prejudice. Take a look at how fast people jump on each other based on not what is said, but who the user is. This includes Skip as well. Many of his posts that take a lot of heat aren't offensive but they are taken as such due to his history. But in the other direction, Skip (and many others) can be overly critical of a simple post and take it as some sort of agenda driven remark. I wish people would consider this sometimes before posting....  | | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire |

| | Posted: | | | | All I can say is that it was nice to have a period where nobody resorted to mudslinging, name-calling or any form of unacceptable behavior.
I notice that these past few days, it has been going downhill again. I'm not pointing at one person in particular for thise, I'm merely stating that there is a decline in forum atmosphere in general.
I will do my best to keep posting in a constructive and non agressive way and I hope everyone else will too, so we can get the forum back on track.
I think that basically sums up my feelings on the matter. | | | Blu-ray collection

Thank you for your thoughts. I promise to be more careful from now on. Kathy, you seriously have nothing to worry about. I didn't mean for what I said to be taken as a blanket statement about everyone here.  *Most* people here are quite pleasant as I've said in the past. So please don't take what I said personally. There are merely some here who definitely have some grudges to let go, myself included. | | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire |

I don't want to be excluded! But seriously, everyone can always improve themselves. There are some members that felt I was not fair in some of my comments. There may be some truth to this and I will be more careful in the future. |

Awesome... We all have our own idiosyncrasies, so for a long time I approved of the tolerant handling of the forums. These days are over. There is a limit for everything. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

There is a limit for everything. Looks like Invelos feels the same way now. |

Looks like Invelos feels the same way now. I really hope so. I and a number of other people would like to come back here, but only if the atmosphere improves on a more permanent basis. |

Hmmmmm, I wonder why? I don't know, given that your last post was July 8. Are you just in a cantankerous mood today? --------------- | | | | Last edited: by scotthm |
