I have been a member of GC for a while now and I know that you ladies were very harsh in many respects. I didn't agree with it, but I understood it. It was to keep this board from becoming such a negative, inappropriate place.
People are VERY bold on the internet. No matter how much they claim otherwise, most folks do not have the courage to come out of their mouths in person the way they do online.
Life is so much more. If folks are getting bent out of shape..POOF, BE GONE!! Boot them out. If someone comes out of their mouths with some foolishness and then have the audacity to say, "its not that serious", when you come back on them, you know that you hit a nerve. Let it go. The great thing is that we have freewill. MAKE THE DELETE BUTTON YOUR FRIEND or simply don't respond.
WE all get consumed some days by our internet forums and chatrooms. Somedays you have to turn off the computer. Take a step back. I know you all have lives and jobs outside of this. In the grand scheme of things, this doesn't mean a hill of beans. This board and others like it is a privledge and not a right. It is just another way for folks to connect on a variety of levels. But it shouldn't be a vehicle for discontent and unhappiness. Ideal I know you have some things coming down the pike--focus on that.
I hear you, (((hugs)) to all of you moderators. Thanks for taking the initiative, but perhaps all of you need to take a GC mental health break. Shoot, its summer time. Time to have fun, relax, get tanned and do a little partying.
Well back to studying!!!!!
