Well...I been away a bit...

And I return and find all kinds of "stuff" in the forums. Off topic is often slightly off-putting and flame wars manage to erupt. Thank-you to those calm heads who refuse to be easily offended and keep a meaningful dialogue in spite of those who impulsively reply upon their immediate sense of offense and start a flame war.

Thinking before you type and checking ones perceptions, giving the benefit of the doubt, engaging a healthy sense of objectivity and then entertaining the idea that one can really incorrectly sense tone and body language in text; is helpful and proper fire prevention behavior. 

Geesh! A pile of crap is still crap no matter how much perfume one pours upon it. Perfume only masks the odor temporarily and every farmer knows that improper manure management poisons our water and air. Eventually a "civil" servant will put the pile in the proper place and it will become a nutrient resource and grow more useful items.

Well, there will always be drama kings/queens among us. Take them with a grain of salt and keep the hip-waders handy. NSFW is still a necessity. 202P may be a 25+ membership but plenty younger come calling and looking over the website.
