I'm aware that, at some point, there was some unpleasantness on the Mudcat Forum, and that many who were here at the time feel they have a right to be angry. I've also noticed a trend here lately to rebuke individuals in public thread posts. I realize it's easier when posting to a thread to include a message for a given individual along the lines of 'you should....' But I also know that I always felt bad when I was publicly rebuked and I also resented the person rebuking me. Folks, we've got a wonderful community here, with many resources, one of which is Personal Messages. May I suggest that, if we feel the need to rebuke, express anger, whatever to another individual member, we make use of the PM? Seems to me it would certainly make the overall tone of Mudcat a bit more pleasant.
