do you mean the mood of the forum right now, or in general ? i dunno, you may be right, but Id rather it this way than constant viscous bickering though tbh. Of course theres a happy medium which i think this place often strikes. With Pontifexes death things are gonna be sensitive, but i get what you are saying man, thick skins are indeed essential, you cant run home crying to mummy every time someone calls you a nasty word.
I think the last shit storm was caused by OTWs outspoken views. You're right people need to be strong, and i think a bit of non malicious piss taking / banter is good to throw into the mix to level people out. Cherrys had every right to be angry here, and ive been in a weird mood cos ive fallen off the wagon (just for today) with my bupe taper, so ive probably been over sensitive and over thinking shit. Argh. It's frustrating man people are trying to get along with and support each other. Its best when people are cracking jokes and stuff and having a laugh. This still happens.
I dunno, have i missed your point totally ?
