I thought we were here for Help and Support

handyman123_2

Hi all, Handyman here. I have just had a look around the boards and am ashamed at the way some new posters are being treated.

I will admit that there seems to be an influx of newbies ( I was one in March). But if I had received the same reaction as some I have seen on here [STRIKE]lately[/STRIKE] Today. I would have run screaming straight into the arms of the nearest DCA, or slit my wrists.

Please an appeal from me, Lets treat everyone at face value. We all make mistakes. Remember Martins words We are here for Mutual Support and Help, Not Judgement. OK so we are classed as a touchy feely huggy thread. Lets keep it that way. If you want to get rough, keep it in the discussion board or the arms.

I have posted on one newbies thread that if anyone gets heavy, I will press the abuse button. They may be a wannabe troll for all I know?, but they haven't done anything wrong yet.
So why shoot first and ask Questions later. I am paranoid enough for all of us, but lets keep paranoia away from DFW it doesn't belong here.

I will be watching.
Regards to you all, Handyman123.

I agree we were all newbies once we need to welcome people

Totally agree with you Handyman - advice and support are what is needed, not judgement

We were all newbies once and know how it feels to be so vunerable

So and think before you post

And perhaps if some of the site admin were to act a little swifter we wouldn't lose valuable helpers such as Niddy from these forums.:p
