odeathoflife - You fail to realize that in ANY group there will be bitchers and whiners...and there will be those who want to help...and there will be those who sit idly by and watch everything happen and just deal with it. That is life. You could give 2 people a million dollars each...one will bitch it's not enough and the other will thank you profusely and use it to make their (and their family's) life better...again, such is life... As for the current situation, I do believe telling people to leave could in fact hurt the community we're trying to keep friendly. Hostile responses aren't the way to communicate that. The message we want to convey to the admins and owners of this site is that we ARE a freindly community. Yes, we do have our differences, members come at each other...but it all gets ironed out in the end. If you don't like those bitching, ignore them. But don't just sit idly by and say "Well I'm not doing anything until it effects me" because it DOES effect you. You're a member of this site, you're a consumer of market place products and you're a vendor yourself. I do appreciate your apology, your response did offend me, but that doesn't mean I'm still not offended. Honestly, saying "Just leave if you don't like it" doesn't help much. As a community, with enough voices, we have a chance to change things...stuff like that, especially if members DO leave because of it...hurts us as a whole community.
Remember...getting lost is the senic route to the eventual destination. (And a lot prettier than the straight road)
