If only being close in the forums could make us a community of artists, but this is truly a problem that does not make an easy situation to diffuse or calm, which unfortunately is why theads get locked.  

There are times that I have found my statements on forum sites to seem rude, or aggressive in tone when in all honesty that is not at all how I wanted it presented. If what I am saying warrants a "Sitemail" response I would rather someone tell me before things get out of hand.  Sometimes I don't realize how my words can be misrepresented.

Nobody can see the person behind the posts, we lose that visual cue that we need to understand whether someone means aggression or not.  Giving a little benefit of the doubt before we call a member a problem is a must if this idea goes to fruition.

It is a good idea.
