Actually, in a perfect world, no one would attack anyone. To suggest a "newbie" should bite their tongue or imply there is an attempt to get in good with somebody(???)doesn't address the fact that certain posts fly in the face of common decency. Honestly, I didn't care for the messages about cramps, but if it HELPED, then it was positive. I don't like vulgarity, spelled out of signed
(&#@*). Newbie doesn't like-- and we know how some feel about grammer. The point is, when a poster ignites a debate, very positive things can result if decorum is maintained. If activity is increased, that too is a positive. However, when a poster states things that are controversial, it will have a response fom people, be they new or "oldies". I have a friend who many people can't tolerate. He is always pushing buttons, manipulating reactions in people. I believe we have individuals here who like to get a reaction by putting things out there just to see what comes up. No one should be surprised, humiliated, or self congratulatory for any reaction they receive from a public BB.
