In the "closed threads" thread Wizard gets into discussing what is a positive or negative thread, and I would agree that it is a matter of opinion and that we will not always agree. However, I think the average person and the majority on this Forum would agree, that name calling, insulting, unsubstantiated allagation, and degrading emails are negative.
Information notifying new visitors of USFS and fellow hotspring users expectation are positive just to name a few.
Just like Wizard feels that we all have the right to reply to any post, I don't think any of us have the obligation to answer any question that is put out there. We can all choose to restrain an answer if we feel that it may just add to the Merry Go Round. It is each of our individual choices.
Finally, I would like to congratulate Sycamore Laughing and Wizard for finishing the two previous post on a very positive note. But of course that is my opinion only!
