Lets be honest now..... we are all here for only on thing... to meet someone we might be able to get on with....... So lets cut the crap.... lets stop the women hating threads, lets stop the man hating threads, and lets just allow ourselves to get to know each other better !!!
The bollooxs that goes on in between, is just that, and yes, I am a participant of that too, but why cant we take a different approach... the one we all came on this site for.... to meet people... not bash them !

Big_John: Only those that have engaged in battle need a truce! Some of us never went to war. I was a conscience observer during wartime.
Sorry big John to disagree, but were you not the one that got into a discussion recently about who you would invite into your house, under your rules....... then spent a while on the threads argueing your point of view ?.... not war ?

Great post, Englishman! After all, as was said in another post, these are international forums, and we are all very different. There are probably times when each of us, including myself, has gotten caught up in the pissin match and said something out of line.
But there are posts that get quite nasty, stereotypical, and personal. I think the question we must ask ourselves is: "If I wanted to get to know this person face to face, would I say this?"
It's particularly harmful to newbies. I don't know that soandso really has a "heart like a marshmallow." or that this woman just got out of a bad relationship. Haven't been around long enough. I don't know that everyone is sick and tired of this particular thread coming up again. Darn, everyone here is supposed to be a person. Give folks a break for just expressing their opinions.

I am not cencentrating on meeting anyone. Let's just say that I may be more to take on then what meets the eye. I agree about the bashing and such. Alright I may make a comment in humor, but I do not have any reason to diss anyone. I like having a good repoire with others.
