Hey Rob
I hear what you are saying but just think the communications are the sign of the times. I know when I see Who it was who posted about something, I can already be prepared for the negativity or as I have said, "expected". I know when certain people post it is going to be antagonistic or hateful, especially if there is room for a jab. I was actually thinking of showing 2 more members the door just yesterday. But that is always a last resort. As for having a secret or private forum, I have never thought much of those. You might check out the LTS forum, I think it's secret.
BTW, if I go all the way back to our predecessor, the original Fullcount chat board (late 1990s) by John and Mike, this is very, very tame stuff.
