I have been posting less at JWD and have been posting more on other sites that are Non-JW related.
I have been posting some of my experiences there just to guage the reaction from the public. So far, on most other boards, I have received mostly positive reviews. The amount of approval runs anywhere from 50-60% and on some general topic forums it runs as high as 90%
Alot of people have been encouraging me on, and as always there is a small group of people who like to ridicule, but they are quickly rebuffed by the majority.
These boards mostly mirror the social demographics of my country, and for once I am in the majority and not the minority.

Yeah it is actually so cool. Even on some boards where the majority of posters are of a different political party than me, the people are mostly respectful, and we have had alot of good,productive dialogue.

JG, this is a healthy step for you take. I am glad you are having a good experience. You know about the new JWD? This board is going to morph into JWN. Check out the announcement section for Simon's announcement.

With forum postings, it is the public, and you know how they can be.
I have done some postings on a few political forums. I am mostly apolitical, or what I call post political, somewhat progressive. I have posted on Free Republic and was met with generally polite responses, certainly no rudeness. Meanwhile, over on Democratic Underground I have been met with all sorts of rudeness, and a couple of the moderators are outright asses.
Like I said, you are dealing with the public. -

I like Ron Paul ForumS (with an "s" on the end, as there is also another RP forum without an "s" which is not the one I mean). I like the Ron Paul ForumS, you can surely keep up with the news there, and most people there are pretty smart/very aware about everything going on in the country/world. Only a few hateful retards who act up now and then, but for the most part, a very civil environment. And always interesting!
