Being a stalwart member of the bris/wilts/glos/oxon room i can see where your coming from Steve. Over the last year 'our' local room seems to have gone from nothing to popular then to nothing then popular again. People move on but a few like myself hang on in there. It's amazing if you hang around long enough how the people change .
I enjoy the turn around in people though as most times it keeps things fresh and soon some become regs and it all feels comfortable again. Mind you there are many whose dissapearance from the chatroom i regret as their company was valued. but hey.
The back biting and stuff is always going to go on inevitably - the thing is to be philosophical about it all. In the end its cyber space we all get off on and in it. Hopefully we make some freinds n acquaintences along the way and we can add these to our real life experiences.
Personally i like to make love not war (god how cliched) friends not enemies. Inevitably as i am quite verbal (though in written form) I stand to be despised as well as liked i just hope the scales falls down on the liked side. I think it does. But i take it now i think with grace. A learning curve believe me. In fact within forum i know i still got a lot more grace to learnbut hey i'll get there.
I say welcome warmly the ppl who say hi and let the crap go over your
head. Keep enjoying.
