: Sheeeese! I crosspost from the monitor forum where they view us as too sweet and smilely and what happens? Flamewar city! Over the course of a few days this forum has turned nasty, something that all of us can agree is NOT in the best interests of the focus of this forum, keeping igs healthy and happy. Lets keep the personal attacks to a minimum or do it off forum. I should never have posted the repost from Andy's slur on the fine folks on this forum. It served no real use other than to vent at a person we should ignore. I should have taken it off forum if I wanted to flame. Anyway, IMHO, let us try not to be the people we profess to dislike, treat people with respect and at least a measure of civility. Try to see their point of view and persuade, rather than use your posts as a blunt instrament.
: You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. (Corny, but, what the hey!) Flamewars and name calling can scare off the very people we would like to help, namely newbies. This should be a forum where anyone can ask questions without fear of being ripped.
