Can I please make one small plea here? Let's not allow differing opinions and views to become battlegrounds that stop us all enjoying this new site. We're all rational adults, entitled to express our point of view, and lively discussions are stimulating. However, sometimes it's the way we express those views that causes upset, things can quickly get out of hand and it just becomes a slanging match. I doubt, (and would certainly hope), that there's any intention to be confrontational, rude or just plain nasty. Perhaps I'm naive, but I believe that unless I can say something in a positive way then it's better not to get involved. If I have something critical to add, I try to think very carefully about how I word my reply. It would be such a shame if this site lost it's inclusive and accessible friendliness
By all means, be a little controversial, mischeivous, quirky, funny, irreverent, shocking - these things can keep the discussion boards alive and fun places to be. Please, most of all, make it a welcoming, supportive place where we can all share the joys and trials of this wonderful phase of our lives.
