For the most part, I think this has been one of the better discussions on this site...at least people are getting their points across in a reasonable matter. Ditto KSigkid!
I would just like to add that it is really frustrating to read references to certain subjects and end up wondering "What the..." because they have been deleted. Plus, the squeaky hinge manner of "pick and choose" deletion has at times been obvious. Not pointing fingers, not even arguing with the thought process. It's just that I have NEVER commented on this subject even though I have noticed it's rather subjective. AND the appropriateness of certain posts seems to be judged on different merits...often reflecting personal feelings rather than overall content.
...I also get
slightly irritated when people don't like the way a discussion is going and they say things like this has already been discussed or, there is another thread about this... You don't say that in real life, it kills communication. I've seen DOZENS of threads that start out with one subject and turn totally into something quite different. Yet, people being reactive throw out that comment (in what seems to me) as a way of silencing the discussion. If
enough people want to take a thread in a different direction, isn't that OK? Are we to be so structured we must inhibit discussion?
TOM-You are a guest as we all are no matter what your status is on site. It is a site to help Greeks and have fun, so take it at that if you would! And that's the bottom line!
