Maybe I'm being naive but I feel that there has been less public bickering on the adpi forum recently than there has been in years past. Perhaps thats just because people are being more PC or not bringing up controversial topics but I also think part of the decline of activity also seems to be the fact that we have a lot of sisters dealing with big things in their lives (upcoming marriages, babies, moves, new jobs, etc) and their lives have moved on from GC.
Personally I'm not the type of person who enjoys holding grudges. I think ASUADPi brought up a good example of how we've had our issues in the past but we can still remain civil. But one of the problems I dealt with is when you have an issue with another member of GC, you confront them via PM, and you find yourself dealing with issue #2 that ASUADPi raised. By PMing a person you are being mature enough to not raise the personal issue in a public forum but you want the other person to acknowledge/address your feelings or thoughts. If the person chooses to ignore your PM and not be courteous enough to give you a reply, I agree with ASUADPi in that they are being disrespectful.
Quite honestly I also don’t post as much as I use to but that’s more due to the fact that I’ve got more going on in my personal life than I did before and I’m spending less time online.
