only two things that set me off on here..
1. LIES.....you cannot..it is impossible.....to have an adult conversation when a participant is lying. I am speaking of out and out fabrication, no opinions. There, in my mind is no excuse for that, and in the course of discussion enabling other liars with support is in the same ball park.
EVERY adult knows the difference between lying and difference of opinion, and those that try to pass off enabling a lie, or lying themselves have no respect for this forum, or the other posters.
2. ATTACKS on other posters is my second main critique. My wife was attacked on here about one year ago, because of ME....because I, with owner and moderator okay, allowed her to have her own separate user name. This was considered to be terrible, and on a trip to check PMs, she was boldly and nastily verbally attacked. THAT was her last trip on here. I have had PMs attacking me, and of course the political forum where that was standard action we will discount.
When political forum and outside conversations (things other than dog poop, etc) were encouraged, even a difference of opinion was civil, honest and adult. I used that forum, at that time, to
learn from posters ideas and links they provided from their reading (YES, everyone mainly provided links to support their argument)
