Hello, one and all.

Hi all.

I never joined the A+ forum as I already knew their stance and while I agree with a lot of their principles, I don't like the way they implement them. So if I had joined over there it would have been in 'bad faith' as they called it. I don't like heavy moderated forums and I don't have a sycophantic bone in my body so I would have been banned after my first comment.

I have joined here hoping this will at least be neutral territory, a buffer zone if you like. A shut down in communications saddens me so I hope to meet some of the more robust A plus members and engage in civil discussions before we demonize each other too much. Other members will have their own reasons for joining and I'm just being honest about mine.

Hi DaveDodo007! Welcome. You can be straightforward here about your point of view; everyone has one!

Welcome Dave!

I think you'll find it welcoming here, you won't be shut out of the discussion for diversity of opinion.
