Thanks, Tim. I needed that.

Allow me to offer an alternative to "calm down and hold your tongue." I think it would fit with your blog message better to say "calm down and express your views."

If I took time off from GA, how would it be fun anymore?

If views can be expressed without insulting people or being disrupted, there's not a problem. In the past, I've been guilty of insulting people, but if whenever I am tempted now, I simply avoid saying anything at all.

Well, there was a time when I wasn't nearly as active on the site. It was a good thing for me to do that. I was later able to come back with a better perspective and greater appreciation for everyone as a whole. I even mended a few fences so to speak. And believe me, I can piss people off, maybe even more than you can.

Grown up looks good on you

Ya know, I've not been around here long, but I sure see a lot of drama and "politicking"on this site. I think its because it has a younger demographic. But what I think is irrelevant. What I really want to say is that drama and politicking are fine, whatever floats your boat. But why do it when there's no make up sex?

Wait, there's no make up sex?

f**k.

f**k? How ironic a word for you to use in that instance. As there is no make up sex, there's no f**king either.

Hoskins, as to what you were saying. There's a political forum for a reason, and it is heavily moderated for yet another. Expressing your views is a good thing. Personally attacking another member of GA is another matter. That line is often blurred, but I can say this. The forum moderation team does a great job at sorting it all out. However, there have been times when admins have had to step in, but that seems to be a rarity that extra actions have to be taken. They don't like to do it. People get plenty of chances around here, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that a select few are skating on thin ice nonetheless, so I thought I would share some insights.
