No - you're wrong - I'm right!

I would just like to re-address the balance after a number of posts both recently and over the course of time suggesting that there is too much bickering, back stabbing and trolling going on here.
I would just like to say that I have frequented a number of chat rooms and message boards on various subjects and have found this to be one of the most balanced and peaceful I've seen.
I think some peoples expectations are too high, perhaps comparing this to a highly moderated JW site, or to "group" sites run by invitation only.
One of the worst chat rooms I've been in was on AOL (if you really want a fight, I'll tell you where it is and you can check it out) where I saw death threats, intimidation, constant abuse and out right anarchy, and they don't like newbies.
I think we should celebrate what we have here; religious types, people who now feel sick at the thought of religion, ex-elders, people who have just been disfellowshipped, Americans and Brits (and other countries), different age groups and....er... Fred Hall.
Ok, there's the odd squirmish and I've had one or two, but don't you think we have all gained a lot from the over-all experience - otherwise, why are you still here?

Because I can't find my shoes.

Nice comparison ballistic...glad to hear we are more sane than others.
I think this site has the most experience on it as far as who knows the dubs the best. There is a lot of ones here that spent many years in the borg and can offer much needed insight to others.
I like it here but am bothered by something in particular here and I am going to start a thread on what it is right now. See ya

I like this board. It's neat that people of such diverse opinions can interact as well as the people here do. Even the people who seem caustic often have interesting ideas and observations. Everyone here seems to be able to overlook there differences to a degree that actually stimulates dialog. (Obvious exceptions excluded)

It's like a *choke* "worldwide brotherhood"!!!
