Point should be well taken. This is exactly what many people have feared was going to happen. The good information on this site is buried and all the fighting, name-calling, criticizing, destructive comments are taking the forefront. How sad. Sure, some are trolls, I?m not naive to that. But many are regulars on this forum and have been around a long time. They spend much of their time posting on Fornits, it seems to be their lives. Or at least a large portion of their lives. They cannot rest when things are going smoothly, when information is being disseminated. No, they have to come and stir things up, get people off course, throw a wrench in relationships, and so on. People need to realize there are but a handful of people doing this and in the big scheme of things a very small number of people on this forum at any given time (check ?who?s online? and you?ll see that most often times there?s about a dozen people is all.) So, in the scheme of things it?s a very small minority of people causing something that could have and should have been good to be bad.
I know if I were a parent looking for information and found this site I would not take anything seriously simply because so much of it is nothing but crazy folks hashing things out and trying to mess with other people's lives.
Maybe the folks are not crazy but they come off that way to the average person. I have known many people who used to visit this site who have not for a very long time because it is depressing and destructive. People here seem to have a need to trash other people. They do not understand or realize the damage it causes to others.
I am just about there, where Alex is. If there is not some form of control taken here and if the fighting continues to go on then I will take the same position.
I don't think some people realize the power of the written word. I am sick and tired of the destruction, of watching people over and over again getting trashed who don't deserve it. Most of the people whose names get smeared don't come here to defend themselves, most of them anyway (I guess the only time you can and it's OK is if you are a former Straight-ling - otherwise you are nothing here, it seems). They either find the posts themselves or are warned about them by others. Most of the cruel comments are unwarranted and untrue. That's the very sad part.
I come here looking for news and information. But the information I find lately and the posts I find lately are very disappointing. None of you who are doing this are doing the cause any good at all. You are feeding into exactly what the other side would like you to do. Go ahead and tear this post apart if you want. Say anything you want, I don't care. Have fun. But if you would take even a moment to think about what I'm saying I think you would agree. Or not. Whatever.
