I have been lurking for a while and decided to join today to add my voice.
It seems to me that people have different expectations of this forum.
This forum probably contains a pretty even cross section of the general public.
This means it contains the meek, the mild, the prim, the attention seekers and the bullies.
If I don't like something about my life, I change it.
If I can't change it because its beyond my influence and it makes me unhappy, I move on.
As another poster pointed out, there are various canal forums out there with different flavours
and styles. If you don't like this one and you are entitled to that opinion, move
on to one you like better.
Hopefully, people will then gravitate to the forum that suits them best
