This thread is a pleasure to be part of and I enjoy posting with all in here.....
Yes we worry, yes we moan and groan but mostly we care for the subject matter and one another.
I will not be chased away from somewhere I enjoy and from alot of posters I respect. Nor should anyone else

None of us are going anywhere, I hope.
But I do think it is the duty of a few of us regulars to raise the optimism levels on this thread.

It is all too easy to get panicked and depressed by the press articles and such feeling is contagious and sweeps through the thread like wildfire....witness what happened today.
Outright negativity towards either party is an obvious no-no, but we must also guard against the use of over-emotive language to describe either party's actions or behaviour as the printed word is very stark and some FMs do get upset if a slight or insult is perceived.
i know we need to grow fairly thick skins on the internet but there is no reason why we cant use a little tact and diplomacy either.
I wont give examples to single any FMs out but I am sure we can think of a few comments that have been posted recently that could perhaps have been better phrased.
This post is not intended to criticise any FMs for having and posting their opinions, just to ask that they try and word them relatively inoffensively.
Am i getting a bit precious here, or do others agree?
