Ppl say they are wanting to make the forums better. More alive again. But now no1 can post cuz they broke rules. Or don't want to post anymore in fear of others making them feel attacked .....

I agree with Walks-I have no idea about the 10% part, but sounds right-and the only thing I don't agree with is that people should go talk to Dr.Phil if they're scared to post here lol.

In all seriousness, we are all adults (some with childlike intelligence, but adults nonetheless). If a person, as an adult, is scared of being attacked on an internet forum, that sounds like a few things to me:
1. You have an issue with socializing with people of differing opinions.
2. You have an issue expressing your opinion.
3. You are being coerced to BELIEVE that you will be attacked.
4. You are just a scaredy cat.

All of those things have to do with a person's own insecurities. So, to those people who are using the excuse, "fear of being attacked," it's a bunch of BS. Get over it and join the fun!

Yup. I often get this mental image when reading posts.
