You always come up with such great thought provoking questions - thank you
I think that there can be a healthy balance of both on a site like this.
I am sincere and if I am sending compliments to someone, it is coming from my heart. I will keep my thoughts to myself if the subject or person posting makes me feel uncomfortable....I have been hurt in the past for being too nice to someone so I can be a bit more guarded (trust issue I think

)
I think a healthy balance of both is what makes this board work so well. We have the "quiet" ones who we know are always there offering their gentle advice and support. We have the "noisy" ones who are offering their advice and life experiences to help. We have the ones in between the two who offer a balance of experience and gentle guidance. I think all are wonderful and that is what makes it work.
Tension is here.....but a good tension I hope? .....we all know that...it is what makes a board interesting. Wouldn't it be boring if everyone was the same? I think it is great when we can all work through the differences....that says a lot about everyone here

.
I just treat everyone as I want to be treated

....I think we all can learn from that.
I don't mean anything calling anyone quiet or noisy either

...just trying to find the right word for both.
