Hovering around instead

[pleinster]

Hi. I wanted to thank @Brunneria for taking the time to message me to clarify a few things when I decided to make myself scarce following frustration I was feeling in relation to a worrying degree of negative comments between a small number Type 1 and Type 2 posters. Without going into it...Brunneria's words (along with the support of some others) have made me realise my reaction was a bit knee-jerkish. Moderators can only do so much directly and if we all gave up there would be less and less experienced input on the site. Anyway, I have decided to hover about for a bit, looking at the forums etc. rather than entirely head off in the huff. I won't be posting as much (probably)as I was pre-huff and will definitely avoid commenting on Type 1 questions. In fact, think I'll stick with "my" type. Thanks, @Brunneria.

Good news @pleinster and a good strategy - the one I also adhere to other than providing moral support where I think it might help a bit.

That is the best news I've had today. This place needs you and your kindness and expertise.

 

[pleinster]

Lovely encouraging replies. Thank you.

I'm glad you are back too @pleinster. I realised I know very little about T1 after having a couple of welcome posts to new T1 members moderated, so now I just stick to a generalised welcome and leave it to the T1s to advise them.

At the risk of being contentious, would be nice if Type 1's would show Type 2's the same courtesy

Ooooooo....I'm not touching that one.

Everybody's encouragement is helpful and really appreciated.
When I was first looking was looking for help it was good to see replies from experienced posters not only because their experience adds some gravitas but also that they have bothered to stick around and help others.
