The HullaBoard - View Single Post - A MESSAGE TO EVERYONE WHO USES THIS MESSAGE BOARD

i'm quite happy with the content of the hullaboard. i think there's lots of interesting topics being discussed and, for the most part, people are treating each other with respect.

i do NOT think the problems are being caused by the newer members of the board. most of the newer members have been making very interesting contributions. sometimes they slip up cuz they don't know the rules, but once they learn, they respect the way the board is run.

on the contrary, a lot of the problems are being caused by the more bitter, jaded members of the board. i'd much rather read a message from a newcomer saying how much he or she enjoyed a recent party and how much the rave scene is affecting his or her life then i would a nasty reply telling that person that plur is bullshit and the rave scene sucks now. people need to remember how they felt when they first joined the "rave scene". stop raining on people's parades. if someone is happy, why would you want to tear them down and make them feel stupid? there are ways of getting your point across without demeaning other people. this is, in my opinion, one of the most valuable skills you can ever learn.
