ETHD is like a campfire.
People are sitting around BS'ing here. Telling hunting stories, talking dogs, politics, etc. If you know someone at the campfire well enough to take a good hearted poke at them, then let it fly. If you don't know them, keep your mouth shut or try to make the comment in a respectful way.
We have over 3000 members here on ETHD, from all walks of life. There will be differences of opinion, heated debates, and some sure enough BS'ers.... no different than any other place that 3000 people congregate. Just figure out a way to be respectful.
Im always working on it Chris. I am a debater at heart and I use humorous sarcasm to lighten the mood. The only problem is that when you are typing on the computer somtimes friendly sarcasm comes across as being a smartazz.
But ETHD is my extended family so even if I do get into a heated disagreement with someone on here, I still love'em and all is forgotten in 5 seconds.
Dinah,
I know I have been guilty myself....
Cristina,
I liked it with the original 2-300 members, however, with that said, I have made some of what I consider great friends, people I would have never met, if it wasn't for ETHD bringing us together.
