So much hostility and negativeness lately. Seems to be a whole lot of proving ones self being right, challenges and just a lack of civility lately.

Quite sad actually.

I too agree Gordon.

It's a pity that it only takes the negativity and lack of tact of a minority to put a whole different slant on what is normally a very happy forum.

Gday..

HUH !

I must be reading different threads ..... I've not seen any "hostility" .. or "negativeness" ... just shared differing opinions - the strength of the forum I thought.

Cheers

John

me too womby - what have we missed? does a difference of opinion make it negative or hostile?
There was one the other day I thought was a bit harsh - and said so - but everything else is just the same - havn't noticed anyone being hostile or negative at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe this thread is a bit negative in itself?????????????????????confusesmileconfuse

I suppose, as in all things, it is open to interpretation.  To some there is nothing wrong, to others it feels personal and to still others its having a shot or a bit over the top.

In my interpretation there have been a couple of posts that could have had a bit more tact and indeed worded differently but still achieving the same end.

It is a good thing that we aren't all the same isn't it.  Boring old world if we were.

confuse Boy oh boy,

This is without a doubt the friendliest forum one could possibly wish for.

A pleasure and privilege to belong too.

The differing of opinions is expressed in a positive and respectful way, this only adds to the eventual expanding of one's knowledge base.

I've only seen one thread where a bit of negativity had crept in, and Cindy closed that thread down.
I thought we were and are a mighty cheerful bunch. Hope everyones having a funfilled sunday. Most will be watching Bathurst I presume. Its raining and cold here. I will be reading the sunday paper.

Well I certainly missed all the negativity & hostility. Maybe I have a super computer & it weeds it all out. Cheers

The best positive I have had today is I actually woke up and was still breathing.

Cloudy day but wonderful life.   I intend to enjoy every single second of it with a positive attitude.

We can all have bad days. Days when we perceive something as serious and negative, and other days when the same thing seems just fine.  smile Try not to let negative people or posts worry you Gordon.

Compared with other forums we are angels!!!  floating.gif And I love it here!  heart.gif smilesmilesmile

Despite the era some of us grew up in I have NEVER tried what's in the third picture of my last post.

I like to stay in control of my brain I guess

I think all in all we have a great bunch, some of us get a little hot under the collar now and then or appear to be, but then we all kiss and make up (except Wombats of course, never kiss Wombats). I hope we never end up like a couple of other forums I won't mention, this one is certainly one of the top ones for friendliness IMHO.

I agree that occasionally some of us could couch our words a bit more carefully, and I don't exclude myself from that.

Aye!

It's been a beautiful day here in SEQ, after a very strange, very early thunder and hail storm yesterday. Weird to have one so early in the morning.

Nevertheless, no damage around here, and it was lovely to get some rain.
