Here's the thing, everybody needs to be rational out here. The reason why it was shut down for a while was because some individuals can't control their temper. Let's keep it clean all!
I hope the forum doesn't become completely vanilla though, some of the soap opera stuff was better than west side story. Thanks for re-opening the forum its always interesting to hear the voice of the people. Bring on the name calling, ha ha ha.
RE: rule of thumb, most of the people would have said it to them face to face, but you can't see someone laughing over the internet. Some of those involved were joking around and some took it serious so now we have a problem. Just have the foresite to know when to take it to a private venue or PM them via the website.
