Unfairly target

[tantrumbean]

That was my point exactly, this total fear of criticising anything - I do know the rules, I abide by them, but, as far as I know, I don't necessarily have to agree with all of them (unless that's a rule I have missed!)!

Again, I was not having a dig at this forum, members or admin - I just pointed out that it feels very strange to me!

And like I said, I don't know enough about what's gone on with the OP to feel like I can have a very informed opinion, I just don't necessarily see a problem with her bringing it to the forum if she feels that admin are not giving her the explanations she wants (and this is based on my very limited knowledge of what's gone on, therefore I might very well be wrong, but at the end of the day, it's my personal view...)

I appreciate the forum rules, because I love that there is very little flaming or personal attacks here, and that the subject at hand is what is discussed. I love the off-topic discussions, and I love them best because no one is trying to antagonize anyone else.

Susan, thank you, again, for providing this forum.

Tantrumbean,

Thank you for expressing your thoughts. It's appreciated, not discouraged.

I *did* just want to point out, however, that the OP *did* receive a response from me via a series of PMs. (Please re-read my post from earlier today.) My feeling is that she didn't like the response, hence the public airing of her displeasure.

Incidentally, I don't mind some criticism or a genuine (non-flame-war) discussion of policies. I don't believe that any of the admins intentionally try to stifle discussion of those policies. But as long as a policy exists, we will enforce it.

Fair enough, like I said, I don't know all the facts of what's been going on, so therefore my opinion is going to be biased one way or another.

Also, I don't actually think that admin are trying to stifle discussion of policies - those discussions just appear not to happen for some reason (or haven't to my knowledge in the short time I have been here). Again, I can only reiterate that is not a necessarily a problem, maybe it just means everybody is a happy bunny - it's just totally NOT what I'm used to and feels a bit unreal! Surely people must disagree on things occasionally (not just policies, but in general)????

Oh yeah people disagree. We just tend to be civil about it.

I have a small idea for the for sale area.

Over at BNA, a person needs to have at least 10 posts prior to selling anything on the forum. It is possible to think about that one here?? I see someone with only one post selling something & think..who is this person & why should i buy from them? We've had a few of those here haven't we?


It's just a thought.
