I am bound to say that I agree with Get Real on this issue, the level of sensible discussion on this forum has plumbed new depths [in my opinion as a new member], I have spent a great deal of time looking through past posts and can write with certainty that I regard my observation as fair comment.
There are members who have contributed absolutely NOTHING to any worthy topic and yet have racked up posts by the thousand, I think it is a disgrace that they should be recognized as posts and I am sure that they are of detriment to the forum.
Differences of opinion are perfectly acceptable, gibberish and inane rubbish are not, even insults are preferable to some of the juvenile contributions and I shamefully admit that I too have [on the odd occasion] been sucked into the realm of nonsensical participation.
Get Real, you have a long and distinguished history on this forum, I salute your fortitude in the face of great opposition on many occasions.
