Here is what we see a lot of and there is no way to control it, so I am just mentioning it. And it is only just a few posters, maybe four or so.
Someone comes on and says they just missed being killed by a tornado etc and a poster comes on and says, something like the following, and it is mean-spirited and unduly critical. Some are downright nasty.
"SO, let me get this STRAIGHT. You heard SIRENS but foolishlly looked out the WINDOW. Aha. Aha. Maybe you should listen to the sirens next time. NO OFFENSE but it was a stupid thing to do, guy"
Or a bad guy came around a corner and had eye contact with a good guy and nothing happened.
OH YEAH, GREAT THINKING NOT TO BE ALERT IN YOUR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD. WAY TO GO. GLAD YOU ARE NOT ON MY FIRE TEAM. LUCKY YOU AIN'T DEAD.
But you cannot legislate morality of any type, whether in society or on a forum. Cannot be done. But I wanted to mention it because it is annoying. It belittles the original poster and it is mean-spirited, but this is a free country and nothing can be done about the mean-spirited part of it.
We are 100% free to be nice or nasty ,as we choose. And people died for the right of freedom. But it is a shame that it is more than ever before the case where simply courtesy went the way of common sense, for quite a few folks. End of sermon and now have to climb down off my soapbox :)
I love the forums and have met a lot of great people on them, the vast vast majority.
Thanks also to Bumper for the way he runs this forum. Not many could do it with his skill.
