I don't think anyone minds people venting off and putting their points of view across strongly, I for one really like that.
As long as the venting is kept to the point being made and not slagging off anyone else for holding an alternative POV. Yes, debate is welcome but lets keep it civilised.
I believe as soon as people see the same old culprits, going head to head, they just think, 'oh here we go again' I won't bother getting invloved
What worries me, (and I've been told this) is some people feel intimidated from writing at all, for fear they will be ridiculed for their opinion.
Everyone's opinion is as valid as the next person.
So hopefully, with the slightly heavier moderating (I said slightly DJ
) some of the people who've been holding back from posting, will feel more relaxed about joining in, in the knowledge that if it turns into something personal, we're on hand to step in and edit out the offensive parts of posts and give warning to the offenders!
Basically, all we're asking for, is for a little consideration and manners
