You know, I can see why this is a major issue, but I don't really understand why people have such a problem being civil to each other. Flame wars and bashing are a part of board life, and I'd be lying if I said I never laughed over some of what was said, but if it gets out of hand it just leads to kiddie fighting. Tone down the nastiness, what's the big deal? Some of you are acting like this is an impossible, earth shattering request. It's not like the board is going to go all puppy dogs and ice cream. This is a CAR forum, not a quilting forum.

As far as donations, nobody is holding a gun to anyone's head. Posting is still free. If you want to throw in a couple of bucks, then go ahead, it helps out. If you don't want to give then you don't have to. Many clubs just flat out require dues, I'm glad we don't have that. It would also be nice to get some more sponsors, discounts and such.
