I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to an exciting New Year.
Some things I wanted to touch upon as we get started, looking back at last year and now looking forward to this new one.
There is one carry over from last year we all could do without, this is the rivalry and negative conduct of two individuals who are regulars on this forum. Now I do believe you punish in private and praise in public. So I will not be naming any names today, but both individuals are starting the New Year with an involuntary 30 day break from posting.
How did it get to where we are today? I will start by saying that as moderator I have no power or authority to offer any kind of punishment. I have written or talked to both parties several times this year and it seemed for a while that it was working. But not long enough, in order to offer others who post here a helping hand I would like to cover a couple of points that are important for all of us to remember when posting on any form of social media or even when speaking to anyone publicly.
