SeriouslyFun: There are a whole lot of folks on here that are good people. New folks should be able to log on to this site and be welcomed.
How do we get back to that place, which I think was the purpose of these sites to begin with?
Well, people are people whether here or somewhere else, you know.
We have those that purposely like to start a thread that will cause mayhem and then they cut out (probably getting their jollies secretly lurking in the background)
Blessed are the peacemakers NOT, for they shall get mightily kicked in the butt for trying to calm things down.
In other words, I don't know the answer, you tell me.
Whats your idea of innocent? Most people here are adults and the topics lean toward dating and such so I would think that at time they may cut some oats. The great thing is we have the power to read or ignore the post in any forum.
I dont always like what is being said nor do I always agree but I prefer that to censorship.

you know polar butterfly, that is true, because if a person is smiling thoughts reflect it, as do moods. And a bit of tolerance is always good as well as stated above.

I'm new here and I see people expressing their opinion which is fine until their OPINION becomes gospel and will stand on ceremony, that to me is like people with beliefs in their religion and try to impose on you. It takes all kinds to make a world but I will not respond to some of these OPINIONS as it is a moot point and not worth getting bent about. I try to be funny and my intent is not to offend anyone but you cannot please everyone. The other pet peeve I have is someone belittling someone else. I'm here like a lot of others to have fun and have some stimulating conversation. This is for entertainment purposes only as far as I'm concerned.

I don't know why people fight...I suppose it's easier to say something nasty than think up something intelligent. I guess you could just ignore the ones who are trying to start something and just move on

everyone's opinion counts, no were are not supposed to try and offend others, and yes it is for fun and entertainment. I think that is forgotten sometimes. good point

And that is the way to do it. You have to ignore the nasty ones.
