The Question and Answer Board

[Koikaze]

Matt, I read your opinion elsewhere that it is important for dissenting voices to be heard. I absolutely agree. What did Patrick Henry say? Was it something like, "I disagree with what you say, Sir. But I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it." Yet, as much as I believe in that, lack of civility can be hard to bear.

I've read some of Sarals posts and have visited all the boards she listed. She has done a lot of work and I think its unfortunate that she has seen fit to withdraw. We need more people with her energy to help push iHub over the top. As it happens, I also agree with some of the material MMMary posts, although it is sometimes presented with an excess of intensity and persistence. The excess tends to detract from the message and raise the question of ulterior motive.

You and Bob are doing a wonderful job creating an important investment site. I know you get lots of compliments, but I'd be more impressed if all posters showed their appreciation by the manner and tone of their messages.

I apologize for this pontificating. I wish I could find those magic words that would help our members treat each other with respect, but I lack the talent.
