I once was very active in another forum that served to teach me a great deal about computers...someone came up with the very same idea and soon another Thread emerged (along these very same lines) and all hell broke loose and people who had a High degree of respect for one another suddenly hated each other.
In my opinion the creation of the "Debater's Corner" totally destroyed all the good works done by the creator of the boards I'm referring to....and all the other people who helped to make it what it was....
I go back there occasionally and lurk and I find that the former ambience of those boards are gone forever...I see the same Buttheads arguing about the same worthless garbage that they were arguing about a year ago when this new thread was created
They all despise one another now and take their poison out on the unsuspecting newbies that manage to wander into the site...
I don't want that type of thing to happen here...I love this place and most of the regulars who come here for the same reasons I do.
Therefore I throw my hat into the ring withThe Keeper and welles,rick,eric,namvet,Lilly,Bubble,and Nikkie and say no to this idea for the reasons I've listed above!
To you Mark...The sign of a good Leader is to make the hard decisions and to have the courage of your convictions...I salute you for your stand on this issue..
I notice that some boards will have a forum strictly to allow their members to blow off steam or get things off their chest. I was thinking we should have something like that.
Lately, after seeing a few things on the board, and not to mention all the flak Chester has been getting, I thought it might be a good idea to have a place to unwind, ya know .... a place to just let it go.
I only say this because, in all honesty, we are all human and not the "nicey-nicey" "goody-two-shoe" kind of people that some (no names here) like to always lecture about.
Now before you shoot this idea down, or lecture once again on how "we should all be as nice as plastic mannequins", take a moment to think about the benefits of having such a place .... it can be one place on the board where you can really let it all go, not worry about retaliation, and then walk away with a deep breath and go, "There .... I feel better now."
And since this will be a thread strictly for blowing off steam, everyone will know that going in, so if anyone goes to the thread and gets all bent out of shape about what they read there, well ... then that would be their problem.
Erik .. thanks, understand what you are saying ... but I will remain a very casual observer of some posts for the time being ... Nikkie ... thanks for the welcome back ... not happening yet ... perhaps soon ... time will tell
I understand, Ian, and I (we) respect that.
Believe me: Mark, the squad and most members want everything to get back to normal.
We found the nest, and who's behind it, andwe'll do everything we can to get things back to Photoshop, and fun.
B7 I'm with ya all the way Mark! [righton] I hope things do improve.... I've left the board several times in disgust, but return hoping civility has won out and the fun in learning will return.
I'm sure none here are plastic goody-goody manikins, c9Mouse...and I am certainly not one...but neither do I find it necessary to put others down or be rude just for kicks...that's for trolls. There are plenty of flame forums elsewhere for them.
A Suggestion for the Forum .... 
Good idea though.
