The difference, P-Bone, is that while posters like you, KatieKate, and others post your opinions, experiences, and information, you do it without lecturing people, condescending to them, or going off on tirades with people that don't agree with you.

Unfortunately, very few people are going to be able to look past the way G delivers his message...the message is lost in his attitude.

Anonymous, some people feel they are being lectured to and get personally offended. I may have just offended you by telling you that. That happens when I try to give helpful advice to my children. A few tips here and there are seen as an attack and a "lecture" when I'm just saying something as simple as "You might want to wear a belt because your pants are falling down" One suggestion was to do away with "Anonymous" and require a real registration for the forum with real names. It s a proven fact that people who use their real names behave better and aren't as brazen.

I have to say, you are a very poor moderator, after reading your nonsense response to anonymous! The post provided are not just lectures or simple advice, but are vicious attacks by a bully. It appears your either condone such behavior or you enjoy the bullying? I cannot believe you had the audacity to tactlessly point someone out publicly on the forum as you alluded to, if you're a moderator! That is bad moderation and ultimately will lead to the demise of the forum. Moderators ought to use as much discretion as possible and not makes rude comments and accusations.

I wonder if any of these post are read by John and if he does, why no action to have in place a better moderator? I agree, any moderator who makes personal comments needs to either go or be retrained in how to run a forum. The problem clearly lies with the moderator for letting things get out of control and his unwarranted comments.

Everyone has a different way of communicating, much like Steve stated. If it offends you, move on, don't pay any attention to it. It's when you let it bother you that it becomes a problem. There's billions of sites on the internet and I'm sure there's something that offends everyone, but everyone doesn't go looking for it and letting it fester. Life's too short to worry about someone's opinion coming off like a lecture. Again, honestly, I'd applaud a reaction from the rest of the forum that turns responds to a "lecture" with constructive advice to either support the point, or provide another point, so long as it's more information that could be useful to a reader.
