this goes for everyone here.

regarding outbursts or judgement on this board..what else do we have to go by? maybe i'm naive in assuming that mostly everyone here is being honest, even people i might not be crazy about. i think some of us here 'know' each other enough to make comments, although i agree w/you that they shouldn't be crude or unnecessary; i just don't agree that we're all 'hiding' behind anything, clearly we've shared enough on this board (and the other board) to form opinions about one another
