Well, let's face it, every other major climate change seems to be attributed to it!
But - have we had 3 weeks of 'full moons' or something!
It seems to be one major rant (tm neilinleeds 2004) after another at the moment.
Looking at many of the threads though it seems more like a lot of little misunderstandings which then lead onto personal arguments..
Where is the fun and laughter going? In fact - where has it gone????
It was only a couple of weeks ago when many of us met up at the NW Munch - such a wonderful evening. Now, many of the regs are staying away or just not bothing to post. After speaking to a couple or three today it all seems to be down to the same reasons.
1 The proliferation of 'Aren't I wonderful' threads and the resultant sycophantic replies
and
2 The constant bickering and judging which seems to be going on and on and on at the moment
Sorry if I sound a little naffed off - it's because I am.
I love this site with a passion and I love my friends on here. I feel very protective of it and them. And I am very sad when I know many valued and articulate and funny people are not posting. The forum is the worse for their abstinence.
I would just ask people to start thinking a little more before they post in a serious thread. Check to see if can be misinterpretted. If you feel offfended by something someone has said - think again - could YOU have misinterpretted something? Check with that person by PM perhaps - maybe they didn't realise how their post could have come across.
Start reading between the lines maybe.
Now I am not say we should not have debates in here - debates are healthy and we can all learn a lot by reading and participating but PLEASE do not let it get personal.
Well by my normal standards this is a mammoth post for me, so .... and I have said this before......
Let's all take a deep breath and smile and
HAVE SOME FUN!!!!!!!!
Judy - I hope you are putting your numbers on this week!!!
I need a holiday now!
