I’d never clicked on the “View All Forums” until now, but it reads verbatim what rharv stated.

So if we take that literally, then all of us involved in this discussion are violating the forum rules. Even though Ian started what I think is a very good thread with the obvious intention of generating harmony and civility, and others have given some good ideas, we technically can’t talk about this!

It’s just my opinion, but I think the forum rules should be taken in the spirit of what they’re trying to accomplish, not the letter.

I really like what Tom had to say:

A lot of people share their lives with their friends here. Sometimes that includes some crankiness. As long as no one is openly hostile, I think that's a small price to pay for a circle of friends who share interests and create together.
