I have no thought whatsoever, than anybody actively posting on X Marks the Scot is purposefully posting hurtful stuff. It's just not happening and I hope it never does. No, what happens is that we write things without thinking, and well....it happens.

It's not going to stop completely, I don't expect that. But if we all stop once in a while and think "Is what I'm about to write going to stomp on someone else's feelings?" (unless of course they deserve it )....then X Marks will be a happier place, all 'round.

Or so it seems to me, from where I sit.

I'm not advocating being Mister Sweetness and Light all the time. I'm not advocating that people should stop writing what they think. I'm just suggesting that there is an ISSUE, here, and that people can be aware of it when they post.

...and that is entirely enough said, about that.
