I am sorry, but I have tried to refrain from making this post for months, but at sometime one needs to simply bite down and do what they feel they need to do.
I did not know what a forum was until I purchased SP3 and joined this forum. I was a programmer for 20 yrs and never had access to the internet until 6 years ago (wasn't available when I was programming) .
I went through the CAPS ONLY, the newbie questions, slowly joined the 'regular's group', and waffled (just a little). Confronted Lance for things I truely thought were correct (recieved 3 e-mails, that I would possibly be banned for 90 days), but they were never hard-core attacks, simply my thoughts on Auran's ideals and/or policies.
The forums are a very difficult avenue of corresponding, no face to face, no immediate feed-back , no ability to interject, one simply posts thier thoughts and then sits back for either praise or a handful of rocks.
But, I muttled through it, and still love to post my thoughts and I still have remained able to dodge the stones.
It is a tough area to cummunicate and one needs to learn how do duck thier head !
Post what you desire to, but do not expect 100% compliance, don't run, but be prepared to cover your head, others have their thoughts also !
