Well done...

This needed to be said.

It seems this forum had become a bit like a Kindergarten with a few posters taking up positions as the "Bullies"

There is a huge difference between being "funny" and just plain RUDE.

We are all supposedly "floral professionals" and honestly the way some of the members carry on - well, it dosn't say much for how their businesses are run.

It is great that we have somewhere that we can discuss issues pertaining to our industry with a little fun on the way - but not to the expense of others. If you don't like the content of a Thread - Move on - there is no need for sarcastic comments or remarks.

I think also that what we have to remember is that it hard to come accross as the "real" people that we are when we are only typing our thoughts in written word. This action does not even come close to being able to express ourselves as we would in person. What also needs to be reminded is that we are all Human - we have thoughts, opinions and FEELINGS.

I know that I havn't been much of an active poster ( the totally different time zones may have something to do with this) but, I do hope that I can contrubute in the future.

Hopefully "Florist News" can now become "The online Discussion Forum for Florists"
