You have to have a certain level of confidence to post on a public forum. There are many who have their own agenda and are not happy about anything and they will criticize you. Some people love it here. Some people wouldn't love it anywhere.
When you have lived to be the five decades level, you have had a lot of life experiences and have formed some pretty unbendable ideas. This forum has a lot of sparks ignite and some people do not have a spec of diplomacy.
Sometimes it is ugly on any forum, but the moddies on this forum and many posters keep a lot of folks in line, and if they get too acid the Admin will throw them out.
