Folks, It's a pen forum. It seems that some have forgotten this.

It's a casual converastion, coincidentally hosted on a pen forum. I think we need a thread for gripes, moans, pissing people off and generally getting on each others' nerves.

I guess it would be terribly quiet at first, then some poor innocent would say something, hell would break loose, with folk telling others what they thought of people (wow, 3 different names for community members!) and then it would all go quiet again.

I vote for an X rated thred where we can let loose.

Actually, I take that back. For heaven's sake. It's a pen forum. My first few pens were crap and the only reason I kept making them was that you people told me they were great.

Trouble with that is NOW, I'm not sure whether my pens are any good or not!!!
 
I have said it before its always one kid that starts throwing sand to get everyone kicked out of the sandbox. I don't think anyone should take the negative comments to heart because its usually coming from someone that has no room to talk. It's a pen forum to learn from and show off your work not cut people down.
 
I actually liked the idea of discussing this issue so that others can get more of an idea of what is expected in the TOS. And yes I do think it makes a difference. this group is not and never has been a monarchy. Jeff is a benevolent dictator. But seldom reins down that power. I also believe that Curtis is very open to understanding what is and is not acceptable by the group as a whole.
I have seen a trend toward the antagonistic behavior that is so common on nearly every other forum I have ever visited. For the most part this group has managed int eh past to avoid that sort of culture simply by upholding a standard of behavior that seems to weed out the unsavory. I have more than once seen the less than desirable vendor ran out of town. Scams, antagonists, bogus leads and less than satisfactory parts accessories, tools and the like do not tend to survive long around here without being uncovered. I think that by sheer volume of traffic it is become diluted to some extent. I know at one time if there was a member that always tended to stir up trouble. others simply stopped reading their comments. Not much entertainment in arguing with yourself. In this way the group really did moderate itself often.
