An Observation Of Late.

(Climbing onto soapbox)

I have been reading a few threads here tonight, as I do most nights, and have seen some rather disturbing trends.
It appears that one of the things that is great about this board is slowly being washed away.
I'm talking about the flaming and bashing that has occurred on several of these posts lately.
Luckily I haven't been the donor or recipient of any of this (you might hurt my feelings, and We don't want that.), but it does appear to be rearing its ugly head.
I feel it is necessary to remind some that what makes this board GREAT is the fact that everyone can express thier views and opinions, without being bashed for those thoughts. I understand that disagreements on procedures or facts will arise, but I would hope that they could be resolved in a more mature way.
I also understand that sometimes younger truckers, or even older truckers may have a 'know it all' attitude even though they are completely wrong, due to ignorance or evolving technology, or even outdated myths.
I implore everyone to remember that we were all wrong and very adament that we were right at least once in our lives. So have a little patience and understanding for those that are having there Once in a lifetime fault.
God Bless America
And
God Bless this Board!

Thank You,
Shawn
