I can't speak for other friends/interests, but I just realized why I bite my tongue in these boards, and yes, believe me I do.
I have been hesitant to speak my mind because of my interest, and I don't want to jeopardize it. Yet, when I see ill behavior, I want to react to it. But, even though I have Senior status, I feel like I'm being regarded as a Junior. I am NOT the new people coming in, asking "stupid" questions or saying I am going to be an XYZ, bt when some of y'all smell blood, you just grab a flamethrower, and we all know how those work.
I used to worry about how my comments are received. We're told not to act brashly, thi could affect our chances, but GLO members have had carte blanche. I used to think of this as my board, as well, and I need to get back to that sense of sharing. So, since we're all open and above-board, I will stop holding back, I mean, we're all equal, and you all respect droll humor, of which I have been abundantly blessed.
