I totally agree with guys, many members are not posting in the forum due to the fact that they are being accused of being sided to a specific party knowing that they do not relate to that party in any way..however it is not only they have refrained from posting, they even stopped logging to the forum....
it is not always that if you are not Pro that party, than you are against him...

2- or I get accused of having a mission to discredit FPM. Once a forumer replied to me by digging my first ever post to "prove" that I am someone with a mission to discredit FPM, although if he had really looked at my posts he would've known that I am closer to FPM than any other party. Starting from a nice discussion I ended up wasting my energy to defend my person.This discouraged me to pursue any discussion for a couple of weeks at that time.
I am not saying ALL forumers behave as such, on the contrary, I've had many fruitful and interesting discussions. But it takes one character assassination post to deviate the topic and end up discouraging the poster.
Knowing that I am an independent, closer to FPM than to LF, but I have some critics (in some posts), which usually end up with me trying to defend myself and my person.
I think the administration should delete and be very strict with character assassination posts and personal attacks. It should not be tolerated from anyone. If a moderator does it (I am not saying they do, I salute the moderators for their nice posts), he should be stripped of his moderation.
Please, do not tolerate any personal attacks or character assassination posts. When you do that, many people, like me will be more encouraged to post and discuss. |
