Downright rude threads!

This is, overall, the nicest forum I've ever seen. In fact, this is the ONLY forum I've seen where we can discuss hot topics like religion and gay marriage without having any arguments break out. We have our moments, sure, but overall this is a bunch of level-headed, intelligent people.

The worst part about the rude posts is when they hijack someone elses perfectly good thread. Personal attacks need to be taken to PM if at all. It's tough to read threads that have aggresive posts non-relevant to the thread. There's always a way to word a phrase or thought to make it constructive and if it can't be made more mellow it shouldn't be posted. There's so many good people here with a similar passion that it is silly to ruin other peoples threads with rudeness.

I agree.

Great thread! I am sick and tired of all the arguing that goes on here, most of the time for no reason whatsoever. Heck! Even apologies turn nasty

Very well said Craig. I think, for the most part, this board stays friendly almost all the time. I may be corrected here but I only see one or two members that could use some better manners and consideration. Those people know who they are. I have to add in: my Mother always taught is not to say anything if we can't say something nice. That's what I try to go with every person I come into contact with. I'm so sorry for all the nice PT'ers we have that have been unneccessarily criticized or made to feel bad. Some comments I read are absolutely ridiculous and uncalled for. You people know who you are and I sincerely hope that you have recognized your mistakes by now and plan to do something about it.
I have nothing against any young person on this board. It's not the age of the person but the behavior they exhibit. I know the age thing bothers alot of people. Most of our younger members here are as intelligent and respectable as the older members. I'm well aware that an older person could be just as rude and insensitive as a teenager. It's a pleasure to have all you younger members with us to give us new and fresh perspectives.
I hope and pray the bad apples will learn to act better and if they're having a bad day, keep it to themselves instead of criticizing others to make them feel better. It's not fair and it just ends up hurting alot of innocent people.
