    I hope it wasn't aimed at anyone with a high post count on the BR board. I have always found these members to be extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and impartial. So I don't understand your earlier comment either.

    This board is truly the friendliest I have ever been on across the web. There's hardly any trolling and very rarely any upset. Members may sometimes disagree but it's generally dealt with in an adult manner with the aim of finding the best answer, or members agree to disagree which is also a mature attitude to take and something rarely seen anywhere else.
    When I joined, I needed a name. The forum members gave one to me...I am INAN :D

    this thread was about memebers on other boards. i started this thread by saying that this was the only board that i had not seen people being judgemental and rude. but as MikeJO quoted in post 10 on this thread as an example there are memebers with high post counts who can be downright nasty and rude and inflamatory.

    i know some people on here seem to have a false sense of superiority coz they are no longer in debt and look down on those of us who are stood where they once were. and these people are the ones with the higest posts so should know better.

    Makes it sound like you're now talking about 'here' as in the BR board, especially considering you mention "no longer in debt" and that most other boards are not about debt...

    Apologies if I read it wrong, but it's very unambiguous which is probably why Phil reacted as well.

    ah ok. yeah i see where the confusion came from. i was going on the assumption that most people who join this forum are in some form of debt one way or another and generally the more posts the person has the lower their debt as surely they have learnt something off the forum lol.

    i wasnt fully awake when i posted that which is probably why it wasnt worded correctly. i appologise.
