Agreed, it's why I'm not posting here much anymore. This forum was a lot friendlier only a year ago when I joined. It's a hobby, people. Let people experiment and do things their way instead of going after them. Seems to me like a bunch of "well-known" members have become very snide. Can't post a legitimate (if uninformed) question without somebody making a wisecrack or telling the original poster to go google it. Lighten up, people. No wonder lots of new hobbyists are going to Facebook groups and small forums, this one can get about as toxic as a tank of palythoas.
So glad you are here ! You will over come!!!
I really learn so much as a beginner by just reading long posts about topics I am having issues with. Usually my issue is covered without my even having to ask a stupid question. I love this sight. The wisdom and knowledge is wonderful for us who are hoping to not make huge $$$ mistakes. It is therapy, especially for those of us who are more limited in our social activities. So keep it fun and remember it is a hoppy!

Careful what you wish for! :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:
Seeing as badges are being considered.
I think @OrchidMiss might get her mermaid badge after all .

If I can get a hospitality badge
A mermaid badge is just as possible ( perhaps more convincing )

Its just the online era we live in. I can tell you I have seen arguements at the lfs that made me turn around and walk out of the store.
People hardly talk to each other when out in public anymore. They have their face buried in their phone constantly. Im not talking about kids either.

This thread is monitored and kept in check which is a bonus, imo.

Its not as easy as some think to "Fight The Good Fight", but at least its being done here.

Put your phone down for a day and live. Do you remember how?

Hmmm I thought supporters got yellow and partners got purple but you seem to be an exception to that.
that's what I was wondering, I've never had a colour from what I remember.

Just the other day, my partner and I were talking about what a scary big impact it has on our day to day lives when the Internet goes out.

Eye opening, and not in a good way.

Not sure how I missed this thread but I have to agree. Some recent postings do remind me of the old RC. Current one seems to be coming around a lot better. Heck I’ve seen a post recently (don’t recall where but it was after this) where I’m just thinking to myself that I want to post “don’t be an a******” but then I know that’ll get me in trouble and so I hit the ignore button and move in. I think my ignore list here is starting to compete with my ignore list on FB lol
