I tend to agree with Mic.I consider that before we had compulsory registartion that it was very often a mad house here.A lot of the time it wasn't a very friendly place at all.We had a lot of nastiness & flaming going on over the most silliest things.
I think one of the important things to remember is that whatever any of us say in a post is OUR own perspective & opinion.Behind each & every keyboard that types a message to BTF there is a real person who has & is entitled to have different feelings & views of things than the next person.It's just like the real world - just because someone doesn't share what you think doesn't mean that you have a right to get stuck into them !
I think the forum has a lot more useful info flowing these days,there are more BTF dinners & get togethers - so many forumites have met each other.I also enjoy having a giggle at the jokes & funny posts that seem to happen a lot more these days.Some of these funny threads are absolutely hilarious & heaps of people join in & have a good laugh together.
Anyway that's my opinion & how I feel.Live & let live,each to his own.
