I know that myself of lately has noticed so much more "bickering" going on in posts by forum members who have been here for long enough to know better.
IMO It worries me a bit .. thus the title Forum/Friend frustrations.
First off- IMHO this is no way to make an impression on anyone who might want to join CM.
Secondly, We are all entitled to add our input, comments, knowledge and experience to any and all threads we choose to participate in. And we should be able to do this without worrying about a verbal attack because our opinion is different than someone else's!! *(no we won't always agree on things, that is one of the things that keeps this forum ticking!! but can we get back to the more tactful ways of letting another know that we do not agree??) For a few weeks now I have noticed this escalating, with no one particular member singled out, but quite a few .. here and there.
I really think it's sad to see some of our most valued members banned for losing their temper and others having to take shot after shot without having done anything to provoke it except have a different experience or opinion than another member.
So... What's your input? Do you think this lousy rainy weather is beginning to take it's toll? (I know it's been raining on and off here for weeks)
Is it A lot of Losses back to back to back that are making members so grumpy??
What can we do to get back to the helpful hints, information and fun that we had?
