Hi Fuzzbear and all....I am going to address this to you Fuzzy because you were speaking to me on the banning. issue. I have read in the rules or guideline that attacks, harassment etc (and I AM ONLY SPEAKING OF ATTACKING AND HARASSING ANOTHER POSTER NOT differing opinions) can be met with being banned so it is ALREADY in the rules here. Now for me IMO that needs to be *enforced with repeat offenders*. I would hate for you to lose a freind or friends too to banning but I would also hate to see your friends or mine run people off a road due to reckless driving and get away without being ticketed or having their license suspended.
I do not have anyone on ignore and have no reason to place them on ignore yet....but I would HOPE IF I were being attacked that those who attacked me more than once would have to face some type of suspension.
Back to in general
Now on a side note I also hate to see when people say things like *This is not to anyone specific* and then go on to post about someone and expect most not to notice the attempt to jab at said party. It should not be allowed. Its not an opinion or supportive.
I really believe ENFORCING the rules would end a lot of the fights we all hate to see.
I have edited this to add a quote from Dr John in the TOS

IMO if the attackers were met with enforcement of this rule would all this unhappiness would end.

wow
I am not being rude and I don't know you at all..... that does seem a bit harsh to me though, your comment on "banning". I would hate to see a friend of mine, or anyone here really, banned because they were perceived to have started a fight. Sometimes people make mistakes and have disagreements. Like someone else said we are all works in progress....... I know that I am more tolerant now than I used to be.
In my opinion only the two people who are "fighting" know the real truth sometimes
Having been a mod here myself (I stepped down due to time constraints) I do know that mods and admin give people the benefit of the doubt when they can. I hope it is not out of line to say this. (if my post needs to be removed I am ok with that)
I am sorry you don't feel very welcome here. All internet boards go in cycles and at the moment this board is having "growing pains". I hope you hang in there with us..... things will get better
I haven't read the rest of the thread yet, but your post struck me. Sorry if this is off topic by now, technically I should wait to read the rest of the thread. I am going out on a branch here though....
