QUOTE: Originally posted by Virginian I plead guilty, but I don't feel guilty about it. I have never attacked another member, and I watch my language. The high handed "stick to the model rr'ing posts" and other admonishments always seem to come up whenever someone reads an opinion they don't agree with or someone picks on one of their pet organizations or theories. I personally don't mind an occassional straying, ... it reminds me that I, unlike some, don't know it all.

I personally don't mind an occassional straying, if I don't want to I don't have to read anything, so I refrain from complaining about "having to" read anything. Every now and then I actually learn something new, often from someone I don't even happen to agree with. I think this is a good thing as it reminds me that I, unlike some, don't know it all.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Muddy Creek Maureen is absolutely correct. The interjection of opinions about this organization in at least three recent threads is out of place in this forum, in my opinion. It's simply displays a lack of self-control or maturity, as well as an obvious lack of understanding about the organization.
