I always (99.999% anyway) posted under my own name on the old DG but was put off for long periods by the casual nastiness that was so common there (and easy to do). I shan't be posting any differently even if most of what I post is probably half baked, at least I might learn something from the responses and might be able to share something useful to someone It's early days - I'm sure nobody is going to be chucked off for expressing an opinion however controversial, it's abuse, swearing, nastiness and victimisation that will do that.

Well said Yann, I agree that thee are bound to be controversial topics and perhaps differences of opinion that can only be sorted out through serious, if slightly heated discussion ;D I do think that the downright victimisation which happened to one or two individuals as well as the bored schoolkid on holiday syndrome will stop, and that can only be a good thing to the benefit of the group. As for sugar coated replies, well I think being polite and kind all the time isn't always a bad thing - you can say some awful things in a nice way! ;D

i want to make clear that the question was do you think you will/are posting in a nicer way than before, i dodnt say anything about being nasty. i hated the nasty comments as much as the next person but i do miss honest oppinions.

I you wanna see some of that go to horsegossip.proboards54.com/index.cgi? Some poor devil got an earful and think they handled really well. Mind you its not all bad the poetry thread is on there.

I think the only people that should consider what they post are those that posted nasties before. If your not a guilty party then carry on, we don't all have to agree but a contructive discussion is much more interesting
