I can't believe what I've been seeing more and more lately! A pack of wolves devouring one of their own. I am so very tired of the name calling and the bickering. When I view the postings I sometimes feel like I’m back in grade school with the bullies beating up the new kids or the kids that don’t belong to the ‘in’ crowd. We're not the FOGs and the FNGs, we're all lovers of the leaf!
It starts with slamming people new to our forum asking simple questions to ‘test the water.’ Is this a place they want to be, where a simple question leads to their humiliation? Would each of you have stayed if the pack had savaged you like I see happening on this forum?
It continues with bickering and name calling over politics. This is just what the politicians want. We attack each other and pay no attention to them. Sleight of hand better than any magician!
It ends with nasty, vicious comments because others make posts that don’t look like your post. Good Heavens!! It may be tough to read, but do we really need to continually bring it up and beat up the guys who do it? Goes back to picking on the kid who didn’t dress ‘cool,’ doesn’t it?
I believe we should respond to each other just as we would if they were sitting next to us at a big friggin herf! After all, we’re here for the love of the leaf, aren’t we? Each one of you is kind and giving and helpful so lets stop the fighting and get back to the real reason we’re here!
