@mrb89: very well said!

I see what yall are saying about people getting their feelings hurt too easily, that its why I try to avoid those threads at all costs... but really what could we do to provoke people to give their honest opinions? because I as well have went to reply to posts before and changed it for fear of bruising ones ego.

I have to agree with the others on this one. I, too, have been here a while now. The forums are something that I truely enjoy on most days. Some days though, it's just not worth the headache. I always express exactly what I'm thinking, even if I think the general populace won't agree. I understand that some people are not as comfortable speaking their minds. The forums have gone from a place to express ones self, and have a lively convo, to a place where our users feel the need to edit themselves for fear of getting ridiculed or attacked. I have had many convos here that have carried over into text or PMs because the other party doesn't want to have everyone gang up on them. However I have also noticed a few users that used to be a part of the Dating.Mobi Police Department, (DMPD) have actually changed the way that they talk to other users. I bring this up because I think it shows that we as a whole, are capable of change. One more thing that I'd like to suggest? I think that the users who feel that they need to edit themselves, or refrain from making a comment (In a respectful manner of course) should just go ahead and make the comment. The only reason the DMPD has any power over us is because we allow it. If we speak our minds regardless of what others might think, then they lose the power they THINK they have over us.

@Kait: the only thing i can think of is to just quit not posting...I never hesitated before...and in ovr 5000 post I am only ashamed of one...

lol...great minds huh Irish?

Well I feel like the forums are supposed to be fun and we should be able to bash at one another and let it roll off our backs and laugh... As far as the opinions go, we should respect everybody opinions and debate them rather than get upset that theirs doesn't match ours. I agree that we are all adults and should act it instead of attacking each other and scaring others off from the forums

LaDawn: You know it girl lol I mean, hell! There are a few users that I'm not exactly FOND of but I still speak to them kindly and respectfully... For the MOST part. Everyone loses their cool once in a while :)

I haven't been on here long but what 1st atracted me was a interesting convo i had i gave my opinion witch wasn't very popular but everyone acted like adults now there doesn't seem to be many interesting topics for discution and when there is a unpopular point of view it's like a old skool boot party

I agree with you guys that i started getting back into video games and spending time with my neighbor. Hasnt been a good discussion in a long while. I miss being able to have a disscussions on here.

true story that! But we CAN respectfully disagree...at least most of us adult members anyhow!
