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 gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
