Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my post in detail. Much appreciated.
I hope my post was not taken as being a criticism of your forum - indeed it was not intended to be that; I like the personality of this forum, and the laid-back, easy-going nature, a lot. That is a credit to you, and your philosophy. My intent was just to point out that, as a new member, I felt uncomfortable with some of the personal criticism being posted. As you rightly say in your reply, if you don't like something then you have the option to leave - and hopefully the grace to leave it at that (at least in open forums)
In terms of FPN, I am aware of the discontent and the reasons for that, but I think if one signs up as a member of any board or forum then you are by default accepting the rules and culture/ethos of that forum. I feel constrained there but my reason for using that forum means that I can live with the strength of moderation - at least at the level it is now. I have no experience at all of any issues arising due to "outside" activities (your comment made me regret my boringly compliant and conformist lifestyle LOL).
Anyway as you can see I am wont to ramble on at length so I'll stop now. Thank you once again for your reply. And if it's OK I'd like to pull up a pew and hang around :-)
