I have been pretty new to this forum (had been silent for most of the time) but when I started here...this forum willingly accepted me as its part...which is what makes it such a special place...
However, in the last few weeks change...there have been times when I wanted to make my opinion known but was afraid of doing this, only because people who had initially accepted me with open arms, would now be pelting stones at me (figuratively)...
The friendships that were formed over the last year, were suddenly seeing cracks and this is only about people who have been around for long here...
I am not sure what impression we gave to the new comers with the sort of welcome they were metted...and frankly, it was far from the warm one most of us received...
I hope I dont offend anyone, but I figured instead of trying to PM friends and explaining them my POV, this would be a better place...
Thanks...Rivs
Rivya, I am sure we agree with your sentiments as far as welcoming people in the Forum is concerned and I have seen this Section graciously accept everyone as its own.
Thats why I even maintain that Newbies dont need to make introductory posts, they can just start posting in existing threads and get absorbed into the system.
So the question that basically arises is that what actually happened that it led to all these happenings which have never happened before?
And I am also glad that Scorp came forward to help us cos we came to know very well how much the members here considered our requests or whatever. I also truly hope that people pay heed to the Rules this time. This also points to the respect level for the Dev Team mmbers and we had to endure a lot too. 😕 Sigh!
And dont worry, we have all bickered and fought over Jai and Bani singly and their actions for months on end and never came to any conclusions. But we stuck to our points throughout and never pelted stones at anyone (figuratively speaking as well). After all, its a free Forum and all of us are free to voice our opinions, within the I-F rules frame.
BTW, I strictly believe in one thing - It needs two hands to clap. 😉
And dear, you havent offended anyone, just continue with your posts and POV. they are a pleasure to read as I have told you often. 😃
