Steve - Disagree

[Scav]

Steve, I disagree with "These types of public interchanges are kind of exclusionary and tend to make visitors that don't yet know "GPK, Hooves, Scav, Oracle, S2S, etc" feel like they're outsiders.. I'd prefer we not give that impression..."

While I will respect your opinion on this because this is your house, hear me out.

Message boards are based on relationships and a perfect example of that is the LDK thread today, we talked about it and others learned an angle. Us in America have become to private with our conversations and that is why people could feel like outsiders. If Kev would have sent that to me via PM, then a conversation about the race or further relationship building couldn't have happened, like it did. I never would have established the relationships that I have established, or learned the things I have learned if it wasn't for a message board like this.

You can't have fun in the pool without getting wet is basically what I am getting at. I personally think that there are people on here that make it intimidating to post, and that has completely subsided with proper governerce.

Hopefully this post alone will be read by people that don't post yet and it will make them start posting because all knowledge, even if it is wrong or misguided, is a good thing. Hopefully they will realize that 95% of the water is a perfect temperature
