OK, I'll be the Alpha Male, but just for a minute.

OK, I'm now taking charge.  Consider this a one minute coup. Jeez, I don't like being tha Alpha Male but I feel that I must, just for a minute.

Let's all remember that we are all hypersensitive and can easily be deeply hurt and moved to stop posting or even close our accounts.  I am referring to old posts throughout the history of this website and nothing specific, and I am certainly no angel myself.  It is obvious from reading some exchanges that members who use cutting language are not always very tough when even more cutting language is the reply. 

Let's all be more restrained and perhaps even a little more thick-skinned, and especially more forgiving and forgetting.  If someone hurts us deeply, maybe we could respond with an act of love.  (I know that we've all heard that somewhere before.)  I know that this applies to me as much as anyone.  We don't want beloved members and friends to fall out with each other, let alone close their accounts.

Right.  Control returned to its rightful hands.  Alpha Male time over.  Girly time restored.  What a relief!

If somebody gets out of line, hit the report to moderator button on the right side of the screen instead of the delete account button. Moderators are here to keep the peace but we don't always see everything that happens on the site so it needs to be reported to us. We are all in this together so there is no reason for an argument and if there is an argument, the staff has the tools to end it now.

Also if you need to talk with somebody, I am only as far as a PM away. If you need a break from it, just leave your account up and take a break. Most people will return to the site sooner or latter and if you do return, your account will be ready and waiting.
