Does anyone remember when this board was created for a discussion of issues and not pesonal attacks? It seems like every message posted about any issue comes back as a personal dispute! Not only is it really boring to read all of these arguments but they oftentimes dance around the same subject over and over! I beg of all who use this board, refrain from personal attacks please and stick to the issues at hand.ThanksRegina
Hiya Regina,> Does anyone remember when this board was created for a> discussion of issues and not pesonal attacks?

I have unfortunately been drawn down that path myself, though I originally had no intention of doing so. I started out by expressing my opinion, moved to responding to those who may have misinterpreted what I said to further explain, and ended up having to resort to point by point refutations of posts of specific folks who continued to misconstrue my comments or those of others.I have tired of it, and thus I know others must have tired of it long ago. Hence the reason I have now decided to withdraw from that particular discussion.> Not only is it really boring to> read all of these arguments but they oftentimes dance> around the same subject over and over!As Dave Letterman used to say to Paul Schaeffer, "Once again, you have crystalized my thoughts exactly." I know I too get bored following a long thread of two or more folks arguing the same point repeatedly from every conceivable angle. Especially when it is obvious that no resolution is going to be reached.> I beg of all> who use this board, refrain from personal attacks> please and stick to the issues at hand.Will do my best, but I think, at this point, the easiest way to do that is to simply avoid certain people posting on certain issues. :)As usual,JerkyFleaRelated Link:JerkyFlea's Celebrity Hair Spray
