I posted early on that I was active on another forum and would continue to remain so. Recent events have changed that. I just posted that I was leaving there. The straw that broke the camel's back was a post that was very racist toward the Amish people.
You will remember that a derranged milk truck driver barricaded himself inside an Amish school and executed a lot of children, then killed himself.
The Amish, went as a group, to the gunman's family and offered prayers for them and also forgiveness.
Here in the south we have Mennonites, an offshoot of the Amish. They are just as religious but drive cars, have electricity, telephones, etc. Last year a house burned in SE GA. The older couple had no insurance and lived on social security. In one weekend, the Mennonite neighbors went over and built a complete house for this homeless couple. They refused any payment.
In the short time this forum has been up and running I have not seen insults, profanity or racism. I believe I have found a new home that matches my values.

Sorry to hear about your issues with the "other" forum... some people don't understand the concept of tolerence. I think this one will be a very mature forum...hope so at least.

I, too, am very glad to be here!

The goal is informative,friendly,and fun. If we all keep that in mind when we post I think we will be OK. So far things are looking good and we got a good bunch of folks here. I belong to a bunch of forums and I enjoy them. I have like yourself dropped out of a few where things got out of hand. I hope we can keep this one rolling along and enjoyable.

I believe that by working together and keeping personal, racist, religious and political attacks out of this site we will give our members a much better forum experience. Differences in opinion that lead to intelligent and rational discussions should be promoted while defamation will be ignored and shut down per Travis. Kudos to that philosophy!
