did you know...

[Ken Leung]

Don't worry too much about it, David... I mean, we've all been posting on this forum for a while now, and I think that most people in here managed to make friends with each other in some degree or another. So, I would like to think that this could be a place where friends can mess up, and will be forgiven unconditionally. Then we can all learn from the experience and move on.

And I think we should not force people to keep opinions to themselves... Everyone have different things they like or dislike, and sharing opinions is one way to learn about each other and open yourselves to a wider view.

And I never really like the kind of replies to you message that say: "If you see something you don't like, then don't read it and don't say anything." But I haven¡¦t seen that in a long time now¡K

David, your reply about how you like to stay in a specific structure is totally acceptable in this place. You have an opinion and you explain why you feel that way.

I remember I used to "attack" random posts in the old forum, and I eventually learned that messages without emotional outburst and well explained reasons tend to let more people understand what I am thinking...

Finally, let's not get political about this... I hate to see people being restricted of what they can/can't say because of being a moderator or not. While I don't see it as a completely wrong way of tell a person to watch his language, I don't see it as the perfect answer to every message with a different tone... I don't mean any offense to you, Erin, just that I don't see the point of pulling out the name of "moderator"....

Wow¡K I actually finish this message without using ¡§gracious professionalism¡¨¡K
I wonder how many times those two words have been used in discussion through out a year¡K
