You are right wikked.. I haven't been here as long as you. I think the best thing to do is put it behind us and move on.. Don't let it get you down.
Keep you're head up and be strong.. I can see that you have that in you.. As long as we know what we are here for.. What other people do shouldn't matter.
I hope that helps you wikked

I have been here for approximately 3 months and have seen good and bad days here .... bickering, insightful and intelligent posts, lots of laughs ...... I think that in a forum everything is constantly changing and why are these intelligent posters allowing others to "take over" ..... walking away and pouting doesn't accomplish anything but allow those who are of "lesser intelligence" to pervail. You want intelligent threads and discussions well start them instead of waiting for someone else. Taking responsibility and action are the ways to ensure the the CS community thrives.
I believe that it would be beneficial for the moderators to take action more quickly as well to ban or warn posters .... nipping someone in the butt before the hurt and viciousness is spread like a cancer.
I believe that the forums are what we make them to be and allow them to be ...... and its taking an active role to participate that will paint the picture.
I personally have found the forums to be a place where I can express my thoughts and opinions for the first time in written form and this as allowed me to learn and grow in a new way and to see myself through others eyes. I am not perfect and have probably offended a few without meaning to, but I am open and honest and hopefully intelligent enough to continue contributing in some form or another. I am not going to delete my account or walk away because I still believe that there is value here and that just some pulling of weeding needs to be done once in a while.

I think this is a great place to hang out.
i myself do not take this place serious. people come and people go. nothing ever stays the same.
i am just happy that i actually have a life besides sitting in front of a computer.
if you don't like someone here simply ignore them.

Thanks Daniel ... I appreciate your comment because I truly believe that it isn't that hard to be nice and I'm learning that some that have "ticked me off" at some points .... do still have valid points that I need to consider and they have helped me look at life and people through a different set of eyes.

Therein lies the problem. Some cannot move on and ignore. They have to have the last word or "snap" at others simply because their opinions are different.
Daniel4021 is right. "It's not that hard to be nice to people." God made us all different for a reason. Everyone has opinions - allow them to speak those opinions without being criticized or blasted. And that means opinions "less intelligent" than you think yours are.
If everyone who replied to a thread would "seek first to understand" there would be less conflict.

Thank you Assets.. I see You, langely and cran are able to look past what's superficial.. It's hard to find people like that.. At least we can do what we can to help contribute to keeping this a nice place to come to. especialy for new members

I will miss you.
you have valid points and unfortunately it is impossible to judge how one will take what is said to them, or about them... Theres no humor meter, even the emoticons can misrepresent an intention and only the person the remark is directed at, sees past the emoticon. You are leaving not because of finding someone, but because this sand box, that we call CS forums is not a spacious as before, more and more come and enjoy this forum. those that have been here a while with each other, know each others personalities, and so something is said and instead of the rule "If you cannot say something nice do not say anyhting" or perhaps a remark taken in wrong context,by someone not in the "click/group" Wikked you know how many cultures and natonalities are present here! Agreed the sandbox is full of all types and sorts and ages.... You are indeed a very fortunate woman, you have acquired "freinds" who know you and it's less work to communicate a joke, a point, or a idea. Making and accepting different people is hard, period. its so easy to like someone who has the same desires and wants and likes and dislikes, but to allow a difference of opinion that totally disagrees with yours thats the true measure of a person and also a true forum...
I have found the "Block button "
I only wish the Block buttton would prevent me from seeing their posts from time to time.... like "out of sight out of mind"
and unfortunately as some comedian said "YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID" and it is so hard to ignore....Many left because they could not ignore distasteful posts,some left because they broke rules, and some left becasue they considered this sandbox was more like a litterbox.and now you're leaving because of the sea of threads "what about me"...
you will be missed and just for the record you'll be remembered.
just an opinion

All storms pass...
This one will pass too.
I will ignore those who attempt to make me angry by attacking me or my friends.
I will not react to those who attempt to stir the pot.
I will invent my own "ignore button" and post to no threads where I feel the topic is slanderous, offensive or insulting to others.
I will be calm, friendly, sweet, intelligent and the best I can be.
And I will follow the forum rules.....

Yes Wikked, "people have enough stress in their lives without adding to it here."
If I have offended anyone on here, I do opoligize. And I hope that you would come straight to me and let me know in person, this way gossip and hurt feelings do not get started.
I love you're post on here Wikked, I have not gotten the chance to talk with you yet but I enjoy you're thread's on here.

I have been on this site for 7 months...and what started out as one of the best experiences (it was something new to me) has turned sour.
In those months i have not seen so many threads and/or people get banned as i have in the past 6 weeks...and the funny thing is its the SAME people in the midst of these threads (and ironically enough they have no knowledge as to why/when/how the others got banned or threads got pulled)
I thought forums were for discussions and opinions (and though they may not have been your own, everyone is entitled to one) I saw so many people take things personally and then the mud slinging would start...
What happened to the care and concern for each other that i saw when i first came on here...the encouragement i saw people offer to each other instead of the insults...Valid questions and thought provoking threads got lost in the sea of "it's all about me..." threads and those that had valid points to make disappeared....
This became a soap opera of the worse kind...and i do believe that people have enough stress in their lives without adding to it here...
I think that its due time i take some "time out" from CS...though I know i will miss here very much...it really had become part of my day and my "family"...The friends i've made on here...know where and how to reach me...and for now that will have to do though i will miss the bantering....
I wish you all luck in your searches....
