We had a new member join us a few days ago... I use the "past tense" - had ....
I just received "this" message: "I got a whiff of the cat-fighting amoungst members here. What a downer! Too negative for my taste. I am deleting my membership."
Learn to play nice, guys...

I just joined too, seems like a pretty friendly place to me? But I haven't browsed that many threads yet.

marcus I believe it is a good friendly place. johnno56 Some people possibly are a little too sensitive...? Different people/personalities all trying to co-exist is going to create friction, realizing that's just life is sometimes the best option.

First and foremost... I am sorry hear about the loss of your father. I wish to extend my condolences to you and your family.
--------------------------------------------------------
I have had to warn these guys before about their online behaviour... I think they both go through translators or English may not be their native language... I am uncertain, but perhaps their location may play a part as well... Croatia and possibly Roumania... I am trying to figure out why they seem so antagonistic towards each other... You could be right about sensitivity...
I have not had to 'moderate' arguments before and I hesitate to immediately choose the "Ban" option. Diplomacy needs to be exhausted first... imho... lol I will continue to monitor their 'fun and games'... I do not have a lot of patience and the amount that I do have is wearing thin... Moo Ha Ha...

It's good that we were informed, but for the last 2 days I have been trembling, I can't recover. We will not find out about the next fast (i.e. only 10 times slower than RC) versions of Basic with modern syntax from 30 years ago ... And now I am still threatened with a ban ...: P

I did use the word "hesitate". I had already mentioned about how public arguments can damage reputations and I did ask you guys to "play nice". Although "bans" are an option, it is one option that I would prefer not to use... If a simple request to behave works then that will be a close to the matter...

So if someone is raving, we have to hobble, because he will fly to the administrator with tears? Is that your reputation?

In my opinion nothing has been discussed lately that should really throw anyone off, but I cannot speak for everyone. The call is up to johnno56 & n00b, there is definitely a middle ground where things should be allowed to get a little "heated" or "antagonizing" without someone right away running to teacher...so to speak. I just believe it's a little naive to think that this forum, or any forum for that matter is going to be completely peaceful and 100% respectful at all times. Take the positive with the negative and if the conversation isn't something your interested in or you find offensive then 1) Don't join it 2) Don't read it...seems pretty simple to me.

I am also wondering who Johnny wanted to ban and for what ... johnno56 was probably suggesting we try to be more welcoming to new members. I think we can just let this whole issue go and get back to our regular discussions.
