So. Youse guys who wanna come in here and talk with us, join the board, become a member of the community... Enter the family.
We're not a bunch of weird, psycho, pedantic or even narrow-minded people with a skewed sense of How-Things-Should-Be.
This is more than a internet forum to some of us. It's an extended family of brothers, sisters, fathers (and a great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather, lol!) and a mother hen. Hey, that rhymes!
My point here being is that we welcome all, and we treat everybody fairly, but we don't treat them like boardmembers. We treat them like guests in our house. If you can see it from that angle, you would see how and why people react to certain statements the way they do. It's only natural then, that we do not speak of upsetting themes or topics in the house of thy brother. And no, we're not a sect either
What we are is family, no less. As soon as you learn to use tactfulness and leave certain topics be, things will be easier. To give a metaphor (or is that analogy?) to what I mean, you don't go to your brother's house for christmas dinner and bring up what an ugly skank his wife is. Even if she is. If you love your brother, you let him live with his choices, it's his life.
My point is - Keep negativity to yourself, and spread some love instead.
We do.
And it shows.
You're all still fans of Tex, and therefore all very, very welcome here. But please, keep it civil as you would be a guest in the home of one of your loved ones. Suddenly you'll see the attraction to coming here and being a part of such a wonderful, caring group.
Peace!
