That's why we're here.
...but my first impressions of this forum havn't been overly impressive...
Because of squabbles and pointless stuff, right?
...isn't it a shame that some completely pointless posts get over 4 pages of replies and those which attempt to spark up constructive discussion and provide advice rarely achieve 2 pages?
"A shame." Yes, that is the word for it.
perhaps we would all do well to remember that this forum is primarily for the discussion magic and related arts and not for childish feuds
Unfortunately this, the same as any other forum, is made up of so many different personalities, that these feuds will break out. Adults, often, are the most childish of children. And, from time to time, they will throw their toys out of their pram.
There is history between some of the members that far predate this forum.
Scabs will be picked at. It is the human condition, whether on this forum or another, unrelated forum, or even in real life.
The irony being this post could be seen as completely pointless
By far and beyond, that was not a pointless post. It showed wisdom, because you are right.
It is a shame.
Mike.
