[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1412637, member: 2736"] At first it sounds like a good idea, but then I recall other sites that are very adversarial and have cause to doubt the good of something like this. I was raised with the philosophy that If you could not say anything good about someone then don't say anything at all. This doesn't mean that you cant disagree with them. Just explain why you think differently and give your reasoning and let the membership sort out which way is best for them. I have been on some websites where personal attacks were the norm and nothing was ever resolved and posters were afraid to post in fear of being made to look stupid . Also I have seen people attacked that were not guilty and the attacker was the wrongdoer. So even though sometimes it seems necessary it generally only does damage to the site. Lens approach to this problem has always been spot on and has made this site what it is. I have digressed at times but knowing what Other sites are like, I try to stay on track with his philosophy. It is ok to disagree, in fact it is healthy so I for one would caution against it and recommend more conversation instead of criticism. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
