You know, I'm sure that most of us belong to more than just one forum. I belong to dozens. But I don't post on them. The company they keep is horrible. People want to do nothing but prove you wrong at every turn. I like hanging out here because even though we all have varied opinions on pretty much everything, nobody is trying to be right 100% of the time. There are no grammar checkers on here correcting everyone all the time, nobody whining that somebody spelled something wrong. It's really refreshing. I hadn't been here in a long time until about 6 months or so ago when I got the admin email that things had changed, and I'm really glad I came back. I've since left a few other forums because you can't just post something without it feeling like you just chummed in the sharks. Here, I feel like I can and sometimes do post whatever it is I'm thinking at the time and nobody cares. If it's something that people seem to not be interested in, nobody posts on it. You don't get hit with posts following of how stupid it was to post your ideas. I'm old school, pre-internet generation. My generation had the unfortunate or fortunate, life experience to grow up with the internet. meaning we've watched the internet go from phone modems to broadband. And sometimes I just still haven't acclimated to some 12 yr old punk thinking he's tough and trying to bully me. I'm more.. Jay and Silent Bob where they travel around the country punching all the 12yr olds in the face for trash talking them online. Although once I had a friend that had a tracking program that if you were in yahoo chat with someone you could trace them down to within a few blocks of where they were located. That was fun to play with. But.. to all the people on here... Thanks.
