Something I feel I need to say

[Trevor]

This is my second home.

This is my happy place: when stress gets the better of me, I come here, read messages, post and read some reviews I haven't got to yet and I feel better.

I understand that there are people on here who do not get along: that's life and I understand that: you can't get along with everyone.

This site and the people on it have saved me countless times since Dad passed in 2008.

Could I then please ask that any personal conflicts be kept off the main boards and limited to PM: it really saddens me to see these fires that break out every so often and then Rev has to douse the flames.

Please people: you're all my family, I love you all: let's just be civil.

I'll go with that. I apoligize to all I p**sed off.

Trevor, I completely agree. Private messages are where conflicts belong, if they have to be waged at all. I'd like to bury the hatchet, but I am sure I will keep being attacked, and wish at the very least those could be confined to PM, where I could ignore them more easily and go on my happy way.

And do me a favor, PLEASE, and remember there is a difference between responding to attacks and launching them in the first place. It's all dumb, really, and I wish everyone was peaceful.

If I've attacked anyone without just cause, I am sorry; if you've wronged me, I forgive you, let's let it all go.

Thanks😊😊😊😊🐢*


*For people who wonder why the turtle is almost always there, it's because if you see the 🐢 then you know that it is me.

If you see 💩, that's a problem 😳😉

I try to avoid conflict, but I will always stick up for my friends.

there is a difference between responding to attacks and launching them in the first place.

A difference, but not much of one. A launched attack prompts a response. A response prompts a counter response and the cycle continues indefinitely.

Indeed, I participate in quite a few forums, and this one is by far the most unique. A very small, close community, filled with eagerness and knowledge. Very happy to be able to join in and comment once and there.

Have a great week everyone!

Yes, it results in a squalid ping-pong match, lacking the nobility of tennis. Or any nobility. Or purpose. Or resolution. Or sense. Overreacting to rudeness is a fault of mine (no tennis pun intended there) and I wish I had a rapier wit like my cousin Dana, but I am more like a club that bashes and bashes without much grace. Apologies again for continuing pointless silliness I could have ignored.
