Perhaps when we are new here,we are so used to the garbage on the other forums that we are ready to get our backs up over things that were not intended to get us going. This forum is different.
Case in point:when i was fairly new here Bengeboy from Seattle made a comment about us Canadians being" commie socialists"or something like that which i took slight offense too. (Im quite right of center). I realized too late that it was meant in jest and said something back. Typically as a longer time member he was kind enough to let it slide.
Having said that and now knowing most of the contributers here (virtually) i would now see it as it was intended as being, just a friendly jab. Cause most often on this forum nobody is trying to make any points,we are just having fun.
And i do understand if someone says they've had enough for awhile and need a break, as all forums can get a little intense after awhile. Or at least for a cranky old fart like me.
