Ya, I get that, I make these little turtle pots as souvenirs from my village. After doing different colour combos finally thought that the green and blue ones looked better then the purple/yellow ones and what do you know.....the purple ones sold out first so now I am left with a whack of green ones...T

Well I was certainly not saying the forum should be santitised. It is your forum and if you guys like the way it is then its fine. I did have a slight impact as I noiticed Mr Sandefur edited some of his choice words such as 'spineless' and such from his initial post to me. He could have left them in I guess and I certainly don't care. I guess that I was just taken back more than anything since this is the online front for the organization and I thought maybe you didn't realize how prevelant it is. People are being treated badly on some threads, it is intentional and artist and professionals from all over the world are wandering through here so I guess I don't get what possible good can come from letting a coulple of folks wander around from thread to thread intetonally insulting people for sport. I personally find it embarrassing that a 10 year potter from Australia felt she was treated badly in our organizations forum. No it can't be stopped completely in a forum but letting the same folks do it over and over again is just a shame, thats all.

Anyway thank you to those who posted and I do appreciate your points of view as well.

I was replying to this post....and now the quote thing works.... T

Trina,
I somehow missed all that passed between you and Sandefur. Spineless is indeed a shocking expression to call someone here. I am sorry that transpired. The anonymity of the web even with names and faces seems to let people say just about whatever pops into their head without much thinking. I have felt insulted a few times here as well. Maybe that's why I prefer to know more about the people on the forum. I can understand them a little better perhaps.
Don't let a few bad experiences make you leave. I enjoy your contributions.

Marcia

What the hell are you talking about, Marcia?!!!!

Jim
