I agree Wedgie. There is a good balance here.A Mum wrote:You are doing a great job Wedgie... you and the others and even the members.Wedgie wrote:Some people complain this place is over moderated at times but we are strict in trying to keep people pleasant as it makes it a more enjoyable environment for people to come to, especially a lot of people who find it hard to 'break in' to other forums where there's cliques and rude people. I'd like to think this is a welcoming forum and Mum's feedback indicates it is and we're on the right track.
We keep the idiots out but hopefully it attracts the quality people and I think it does.
Keep up the good work people
There are a couple of overseas fora I had used, briefly, that I have given up on, because of the extreme abusiveness and gang-bullying that arises. I may get a bit of flack here for my non-standard perspectives, and preparedness to state them, but it is within civilised bounds, and people seem to know when it has gone far enough..
On the other sites I concluded I was wasting too much of my life getting involved in the interminable exchanges, as the only alternative to giving in to those who only wanted their socio-political views and values to be heard. On those sites I got quite a few supportive PMs, but no one was game to post them openly as they do here.
