Sorry to hear that you are disheartened by your interpretation of the word from above. IMO, its not that extreme as it seems. BUT the point of view about compliment post causes me to bring up an issue that I have been wondering about. When I first joined, I inquired about the unsaid rules of this message board. One of the points explained to me was to avoid "me too" posts. Its almost 2 years later. Many feel a need to comment on a subject, especially if it moves us. As we should. Where is the fine line on when a post becomes a "me too" post? How do we feel about it? To some of us, including myself, I'm not sure what to say. So I keep it simple but say something to show my support. How do we feel about this? Is it even worth discussing? Can we do so in a way that will not alienate a portion of the community from posting in a simple manner? It would be a loss to swing to an extreme, as witnessed previously in the thread. Hopefully we can express our opinions, agree to disagree, but still post and not be afraid of potential backlash for stating our thoughts. Carry on. [ Edited by: I dream of tiki 2005-11-18 16:15 ]
