I've subscribed to this site for over 4 years, and found it to be quite useful, adding insight to the many of the issues and concerns of fellow Villagers.
Let's please try to get back on-track, and be more considerate of the OP.

I have been on here months and not years. However, the “attacks” against rickeyd in the new patios villas thread was really a bit much. They seemed to never end. I too have been victim to some of this and it is unfortunate. Occasionally there is a “pack” mentality here.
Some believe anonymity is the problem but I think it would be a mistake to have our names posted. If I want suggestions on a door lock because my current lock is faulty, or I want recommendations for a safe to store a collection of widgets - I don’t want someone to drive by and say ‘hey, that house has faulty locks, a great gun collection and no safe…” If my name was posted, allowing someone to find my address thru a million online directories, than I would be left posting about the weather. And I can assure you, some would attack that - I know because they have. Just my opinion, worth what you paid for it.
The ability to speak freely is the cornerstone of any forum. However, we can speak freely with civility.
