A request for friendly discussion

Having been a member since this forum started, I am disheartened to see so many threads turning into unfriendly personal attacks, often not even connected with that thread.   I won't apportion blame as group names are disallowed and would I never personally accuse any individual poster on open forum.

Even when personally attacked,--- best not to retalliate, Just ignore them.  

As the situation is at its worst since the forum started, can we please see an effort by all posters to keep this forum friendly and a nice place to spend time on. 

OK there will always be differences of opinion and there is nothing wrong with that. Everybody is different. But just remember if somebody disagrees with a post, by all means attack the post,-- but never the individual poster.
