Just like you say you have to adjust, one also has to realize that if the core value of a forum is based in one region or one idealogy, then anyone stepping outside that norm is going to bring reactions of others around them.Trust me, when I first started posting here.. it was an adjustment, but after a while you learn the tendancies of this board. Now does that mean you can't speak your mind, no it doesn't. Ask people such as DH, Trom, Zero or some of the other strong personalities here. They speak there mind as most do, however at times they draw a reaction. Sometimes that reaction is someone taking something personal, sometimes it is just looked over knowing the posters style.Scarcasm is a funny thing.. especially on the internet.. when it is perceived for what it is, it can be clever and fun. However perception is the key dependant on the reader not the poster. In the end, yes every poster is entitled to there view and thoughts.. free to post as they desire, however for every action there is a equal or greater reaction. Just be prepared for it.</blockquote>
