I agree with Rodger.Kudos blkpowder for exhibiting a maturity that has been lacking on these pages.

The posts you refer to are not any worse than much of whats gone on here but thats what is unfortunate.

Manyhave shared in the degradation of this part of HNI and I of course have been among that crowd.I apologize to the innocent bystanders who have had to witness some of this junk.

I have no intention of pointing fingers here. That will only lead us back down the same path.There are some very strong willed people here with strong beleifs and big ego's. when people like that disagree about something very dear to them, sparks are going to fly. Unfortunately, when it degrades down to name calling, nothing good comes out of it. Probably everyone who has done it here regrets it and would embarassed if a stranger walked up to them with a transcript and said did you write this?

We can all work to raise the bar of civility here but it will be fragile unless everyone commits.


Im in. Who else is willing to work at bringing up the quality of this forum?
