Hellboy I think the only issue is that folks sometimes forget, this is text based!!

In the old days letter writing was a true art form. Being able to express exactly ones thoughts and feelings, with both the correct syntax and grammar, complete with punctuation, meant the receiver of the letter was able to "get inside the head" as it were, of the writer.

These days it's get to the point in as short a possible time, and forget any sort of grammar. We as humans are really designed for face-to-face communication, and once away from that we really need to consider very carefully our writen word construction.

In essence I think that is the only issue.

Time and again, folks on this forum have said if we were all in a room together we would all get along very well. I concur with that.

Folks do need to step back a little when reading a text message and try a little empathy with the poster.

I know I have been guilty of immediately jumping up and down (not literally) when reading a post, but then after a moments pause, realise there was no malice in a particular post, just someones opinion, and of course their complete right to express such an opinion. The same as they (I hope) give a post of mine the same respect and thought.
