[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Fergus The events of the last couple of days have been upsetting to say the least, however they were a long way coming. Every steam engine has a safety and I think we've just seen it blow and maybe this is a good thing. Now we can haul the forum back into the shop and see what caused this occurrence and hopefully rectify it before we loose any more time and energy. Gordo's rant has been well received as calmer heads are starting to prevail. Robmik has made some valid points in that thread, as to membership and it's trends. So the question is how do we maintain the ridership of this forum and keep everyone happy? I believe some have left because they feel things have gotten away from the hard core MR'ing but I also believe most people come and go as they please. They will stay for awhile and move on. This would be regardless of content. I believe there is room for all of us but in order to do this we all have to be respectful of each other's views, ideas and ways. If we make this too hard core it will be "the job" re-visited, and I don't think so. If we let it get too out of control we will alienate the other side. If we can agree to disagree and remain respectful and tolerant of each other then great, if not then we've lost a great place to visit, chat, learn, educate, laugh and even commiserate. Educate me don't berate me. [/quote] Well put Fergus.....I think a lot of things got out of hand yesterday, It seemed just boil over from one thing to another, to another. I believe there may have been a lot of pinned up hostilty, and yesterday was just a catylist. We're not unlike a big club on here, and we will have our differances, how we handle those differances is really what counts.
