Chicks
I guess I can post as I am no longer a moderator and thus part of what you term the "user base"
What has happened is the normal transition as new replaces old but the new now is a bit different --they use terms such as jerk and idiot-- never saw that in the years before
Beenthere and I used to go at back and forth in the beginning days but we never ever called each other "names' and we today are what I consider to be good "internet friends" if not more. That won't happen with the "newbies" using the above noted phrases--yes I can be rough and crude and at times condescending but I never step down to their usage of degrading terms.
That doesnt happen anymore-- everyone wants their space--you know what ! they can have it
I don't claim to be smarter than anyone but I think I am wiser than most --age and experience gives you that with your AARP card (LOL)
Come back and join us Chicks --join the fun
