Mark, there are many forums out there to suit all personalities and tastes. I have seen some of them and choose not to bother reading them or posting on them.
There will be some who don't like the friendliness of PP. They see friendliness as being happy clappy. I find that an interesting statement, as I love analysing the psychology behind it.
It is a bit of an eye opener when you look at what is on the internet. I just know what I want from a forum, and what I don't want. If anyone is disruptive or inclined to become personal to members on PP they can find another site where the members are comfortable with that sort of thing. Posting an honest opinion, taking into account the impact of that posting, is one thing. Causing deliberate distress to another member is quite another.
Rest assured. There won't be any vitriol tolerated on this board.
Verity.
