Modeling what I consider to be appropriate behavior and starting a new thread when the topic has significantly deviated from original...
Smile

My 2c:
I consider this forum and all similar ones really about community. We are a bunch of people who otherwise might never meet each other, let alone hang out, but for our shared love for the GMCMH.

So now here we are together, and IMO regardless that the original purpose of our forming was to discuss the GMC, still what we are is a family, and making some subjects taboo at the dinner table is not the way to handle it.

If you're a member of the community, and there's something that seriously concerns you that you want to share/rant about, I say let's hear it. How else are we going to get to know each other short of rallys which many of us can't attend? I have no problem using the delete key if things drag on. Heck I already delete over half the posts I get every day for not being immediately relevant to where I'm at with my coach/budget.

Personally don't see a problem with off-topic/political posts. Maybe because I generally agree with them. LOL

P.S. And on the subject of the delete key, I've learned that if a thread continues for a long time, chances are good that the subject has deviated, so I have learned to read at least a few of the longer threads even if I really don't care about the stated subject, just so I don't miss something important (to me).

So here's a request to everyone to please remember to start a new topic - the way things get distracted now, it's painful or impossible to find anything in a search of the archives.
