this is a touchy subject, i think we're are all trying to address.

when it gets ugly or nasty here, i try to post my thoughts in private, seems appropriate and mature...to me.

unfortunately, certain individuals prefer i don't contact them (like ever) seems they would prefer a public conflict... and have reported me in the past while at the same time posting unkind words to others..

this bewilders me as my philosophy is - if you have an issue, you take it up with that person - not the whole board. am i off here?

any thoughts?

I think responding in private does not give the 'rush' that some people obviously crave, and by keeping it in the public forum, they like to see the drama it creates between members. Also, some people prowl in packs and don't like one-to-one conversations. Just my opinion.

Yes, if one has an issue with another person, not a good idea (or even fair) to bring that person up for public display/debate. That is disrespectful and unkind. (trying to be diplomatic here)

The biggest problem is, everyone is so worked up they can't tell a debate from an argument.

My only problem with pm's are, the trolls take advantage of that too, then we tell new people to keep it private. Then alot of vunerable people seeking help get hurt. I don't like arguing with anyone.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
