I don't want to upset anyone be it staff or members, I do tend to see both sides for better or for worse. Believe me I have been upset with many of the changes, the linking rules do not really affect me personally, but the Prime changes did, as did the site changes and the changes to the gallery. The result was I was that upset I stopped buying from here and deleted my gallery. I have seen the forums start to become almost all out war but I beg everyone to take time chill a little. Members are upset, and rightly so, but we appear to have a couple of people that can make the change at least understand. I don't want to see them the victims of friendly fire or may be that should be unfriendly fire.

Wars don't help anyone in the long run. All wars can only ever end with people talking to each other and trying to understand the other person's view. We have to be realistic, no major changes are going to happen overnight. We can't complain, well we can but not fairly, that statements that are not clear and then complain when people want to take the time to try and get it right first time.

Any community is made up of members with some very different views and no one is going to be totally happy. I remember the words to one song that states 'no one is completely on your side' how true that is but seeing other's differences and accepting them is what a community is all about.

I am not preaching, I am not taking sides and I do not want to upset anyone but I do not want to see the efforts of those trying to help be lost in all the complaints and recriminations.
