or that i try to think charitably and that helps me, yes.

> sure Dr. Bob requests input from the posters to his site. years of archives will show discussion over new ideas and features often go on for upwards of two years before any changes are made.right. sometimes... change can be slow. i'm sure that you appreciate that there is a difference between being interested in what people have to say and thinking that their idea would in fact be the best thing to do to profit the forums.
i mean... it can take a long while and there are many things to consider.
yeah change is slow.
> most ppl are not appreciative of being told what they need to be prepared to accept.
sorry didn't mean to be directive. just meant that you might find that your life goes a little easier and you feel a little happier if you try and give people the benefit of the doubt. sometimes the way we view the world and other peoples intentions... has an effect on the way the other people view us.
i mean... if i respect what you have to say then you are more likely to extend that courtesy back to me.
> again, the archives show YEARS of ppl working from within on board trying to change how this board is run.right.
and what changes did they suggest?
and would those changes benefit the forum as a whole?
those things need to be discussed...
and that is going to take time.> over time this site has shown that truth isn't always relevant to a situation and how it is handled. civility, as this site defines it, is relevant.
yeah.
because it is counter-productive to a supportive environment to have people judging or attacking or accusing other people.
and thus... people aren't supposed to do that.
regardless of the 'truth' of what they have to say.it might be true that i am ugly and fat
does that mean that it should be acceptable to the forum for you to say 'you are ugly and fat'
?
