People seem to forget, this is not the local bbq at so-n-so's house.
This is someone's business & we are using it... FOR FREE, mind you.
All they ask is that we all... yes ALL, show a universal form of respect to the members around us.
For some odd reason, it has become hard for some to do that. The biting of tongues has become the biting of heads & CS's reputation is getting poor marks, for the actions of a few.
...gee thanks.
No really, I just love to be labeled something despite my personal actions.
CS used to be a place where we all knew each other(for the most part) & if we didn't we were at least respectful of each other's differences. We've had attacks from different sources(disposed members, competitors form other sites, hateful lonely people in general) in the past but time & time again, shook it off. We get so many personalities here, share a wealth of culture & remain in touch with the ones who make it all look easy(bless you Peaches & Ray, for example).
Why should a couple of bad days ruin it for all of us? Why is the concept of civility so damned hard to grasp? Why can't a simple set of rules(which, yes... after all these yrs I too accidentally broke- sorry CS) be worked with. It seems some egos have gone unchecked for far too long & now it's come to the point of being retarded.
Seriously, it takes so much less effort to ignore a comment, or person... why incite a pack riot?
But whatever...
if any of this held any value, I wouldn't be posting this right now.
*geesh... going away now...
