I've been thinking about making a thread like this one for a while and i think the time is right for it now.
This is a public internet forum. As long as you stick to the rules of APS you can say anything and everything you want and everything and anything you say here can be viewed by anyone (except in chit-chat... but that's besides the point lol). As we all know the whole point of a forum is to have discussions, so when you make a post any member (with the exception of the old farts and for sale forum) can respond to your post in anyway they want, so long as the forum rules are followed.
The point that i'm getting at is, if you post something on this forum and i agree or disagree with you or i think your post is ridiculous i am going to tell you what i'm thinking and why i think that. When i or anyone else does this it is not because i don't like and don't want anyone else having an opinion that is different to mine, it is not because i have a high post count, it is not because i am being intolerant of other members and it is not because i don't like you. It is because this is a discussion forum.
If you find yourself starting to take things too seriously and find yourself getting offended by posts that follow APS rules, look to the left, look to the right, up, down, behind and realise that reality is as close as walking away from your computer.
PS.
I know this next bit is in the wrong forum but can we make it a new rule that you have to atleast try and use proper spelling and punctuation? When i open a thread and see 'wot lyk wit dat fing speshal ryting' i find myself having to take some of my own advice.
