In the spirit of spring, and after enduring years of online message board surfing and its inherent negative side...... (I have quit boards before over how ridiculous things get...I don't wanna quit this place!)
(taken from the Tech-metal appreciation thread)
Yes, I have had my share of online bullying and e-terror! I would here
and now like to announce my pledge to try to be a noble and just and
do-gooder online! I've had it with online jerks. Anybody with me?
Let's treat each other like neighbors....after all, we all have at
least one BIG thing in common; this place... let's not pollute it with
petty arguments and lofty elitism and the ridiculousness of long, loopy
arguments. Let's have a love-in! We can agree to disagree and still
maintain a courteous relationship. This ideal will also reflect well
in your personal life too! Whose with me? Stand up and declare your
love for prog and all its sub-genres, but also your love for your
fellow progheads!
