General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

With another poster.

I think there is an 'elephant in the room' issue here, which has been simmering beneath the surface across a number of recent threads.

Obviously this is not something unique to WW, and is probably somewhat inevitable on sites like this.

I have hesitated to post, knowing the thread itself may well attract conflict, but my intention is to raise the question of 'IT IS HOW YOU DEAL WITH IT, moving forward'!

There is a distinction between members having a spat and then moving on, versus people holding a grudge which they are reluctant to let go of.

I guess the site can cope with the latter, but these ongoing feuds are accounting for increasing proportions of the content.

(Complaints of ruining threads abound)

This is what I find that I am saying to myself:

It would be dishonourable not to stay and fight my corner, but to quit , when faced with hostility from another poster: I hope that I am made of stouter stuff than that. On the other hand, there is always an opportunity cost: Why am I wading through this crap when I could be watching some paint drying?

Well, I have said my two penneth worth, and will say no more. Take this up and run with it, or turn your backs upon it: obviously, the choice is yours.
