i want to add that we, as a group, police this site. any time you see anything you think is inappropriate, click on "report this post", which is right under the post. if they are bothering you at all in private messages, contact the site manager. i have posted on message boards a lot over the years (many AOL boards, which can have some really nasty posts) and people that are starting stuff are called "trolls". one saying we have is "DON'T FEED THE TROLLS". any time we respond to the trolls, we are feeding them the attention they want. if they get no attention to the posts they put up, eventually they will go away. this site is much better than AOL, though, because we can report people and actually get posts pulled. on AOL, they never do anything.
You have a good point some people are very close minded I know a few very well, they are not open to anything. But alot of people have different experiences and situations as to their own opinions, and no matter how much we would all like to change their opinions but that doesn't always happen. However this is a forum to voice opinions, its called the freedom of speech and no matter what we personally see as good or bad, is again strictly ones personal opinion.
No pointing fingers here, we've all done it and everyone should post as they wish. I once wrote a lengthy response to someone on this site who wrote a very insulting message to me...then deleted what I wrote and didn't send it. I felt better, the situation stopped there because I never responded and I avoided stooping to troll level.
