: Excuse me, but I think u would feel like sh*t too if you got dissed as much as GT dissed me. And, you say keep your comments to yourself, well, it doesnt seem like YOU can keep your mouth shut any more than anyone else can. Sorry, but now you are on my bad list along with GT. I thought you were nice, I guess I was wrong.

Jess, it seems like you are a great glider owner. Let me start by saying I LIKE YOU. Please don't flame me back just because I say something. I am not trying to attack you, but we seem to keep repeatedly seeing you asking for people's opinion on this board (maybe not in this particular instance, but in others) and then you get really angry when they state their opinion. Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they aren't a nice person. It just means they don't agree with you. It seems like (and this is directed to everyone, not only to you) things might be so much more productive if we all tried to look at every message objectively and not as a slam. I don't think anyone on this board is here to tick people off (except of course that guy that says gliders shouldn't be pets.) Maybe it would help if when someone angers us we post back, asking for an email address so that a private discussion can go further. I think (and again, I'm not trying to offend) you are at an age where getting offended and retaliating comes more naturally than trying to work things out. We've all gone through it, but let's all try to curb our anger on this board. Discussions can happen without slamming, flaming, and putting people down. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you have an opinion on this, feel free to email me, but please let's not start another string of offended responses that waste room on a board that is intended for learning about gliders.

Thanks everyone-
Kim S. :)
