I know I should have wrote this to the moderators first, but I did it this way to get everyones attention!!

I hope I don't offend anyone!! But I know that this probably will!!!
I ( we , all) have noticed alittle more than judgemental conversations going on here. I am not perfect but I have noticed this!! The moderators have stepped in on a few occasions! I have not been on as much (posted) as I probably should. I have been having multiple health issues/personnal things going on for the the last year +++.. I hope that instead of "fighting" ect. it should be done in pm's to the person instead of on the forum. YES, I know that there is critisism ect. but some of it has been getting boring.. I am sorry for this but I had to say it!!

I am sorry for this but had to say it to get it off of my chest!!!!!!!!!!!! I ( we) have noticed that some of the regulars have also not been on, or on as much as they were!!! I hope everyone can agree especially the moderators!

where is all this fighting going on and how do I keep missing it?

Same here....If anything, this forum has been milder now than it has been at various times since its inception. However, that said, even at its most contentious, this forum is still the most polite, reasonable, and respectful forum of any I have ever gone on, in any area of interest.

Allthough I understand your sentiment I still consider this to be the best Orchid forum on the net that I frequently visit. Lots of knowledge here and people who don't hesitate to share that knowledge.

And it wouldn't surprise me if the moderation team send out a few pm's to certain individuals over the last few weeks.

I must be missing all these posts as I haven't a clue what is going on. I haven't read a word in anger for a long time now. In fact this forum is a lot tamer than it was when I joined where there was a lot more robust debate. So it would be nice if someone would elaborate a bit more rather than post cryptic messages.

I don't know what specifically prompted you to start this thread, Tom, but I respect your right to express your opinions. I hope things will improve for you soon. I can certainly relate to having health and personal issues. Life can be exceedingly difficult at times. You have my empathy and my best wishes.

Lanmark i wasn't thinking of you when i wrote my initial post in this topic.

[masaredera]

Except of the cases where folks are deliberately being belligerent, I think that many get caught up in the subject matter, and assume everyone already understands that "In my opinion...", "What I perceive...", or "In my experience..." mentally precedes most statements.

If we'd be smart enough to add that to what we write - and what we read - there would probably be less consternation.

Tom, you are entitled to post whatever you'd like, but I don't necessarily agree that the forum has had more "rants" than usual. There are simply personalities here that don't get along. And I suspect this will always be the case. We do see the tantrums and are aware of them. The "ignore" feature is a wonderful tool to use if those folks are upsetting you. You may choose to click on the ignore feature and those threads and postings will "poof" be gone from your screen and be less apt to irk you.

I echo Candace. If you don't like someone, just ignore them and move on!

If I want to ignore someone, I don't need to press a button for that. There are so many posts anyway I only have time for those that really interest me. We all have our interests and no one needs getting upset about anything.
