Noticing a trend lately with people getting their noses out of joint real easily over differences of opinion. 
Not pointing the finger at anyone, just seeing it more and more as we monitor all of the posts. As a moderator, this has a tendency of sucking the life out of you.
If you're coming here and you find that this forum is causing you to do nothing but get angry, make snide comments, complain about things, bad mouth people, etc....it may be time to take a break.
We all need to try to keep things in perspective. This is a website about bicycles. This stuff isn't life or death and 30 years from now it probably won't mean much to anybody. The whole purpose of a place like this is for people to enjoy a hobby, be creative, have fun, make some friends, etc.
Lastly...keep in mind that IT'S WAAAAY TOO EASY TO MISINTERPRET SOMEONE'S EMOTION IN THEIR POST. As someone who works in the Communications field I see this constantly. Just be mindful that someone may not realize that you're joking if you don't really make it obvious. With so many new folks here, it's not always easy to know who's got the dry sense of humor or who is just a cranky old fart.
Okay....enough of this, back to having fun with bikes!
