the TFP is fast becoming a wonderful yet fragile thing. The hard work you put in is very much appreciated by all members I am certain . . . . . and not underestimated.
I guess the biggest challenge and dificulty is fine tuning the balance in keeping the forum as open and 'uncensored' as possible, whilst ensuring that respect and fairness is maintained between members and preventing the forum becoming an arena for flame wars. I dont envy you the task . . . . particularly as many threads are on emotional topics about which feelings can be very strong. I recently had a mild 'locking of horns' with one of the Mods and was extremely impressed by the way the matter was handled. The easy option would have been to just ban me but by making the effort to explain the position the Mod in question de-fused the situation with diginity and mutual respect, thus ensuring that I remain a member and continue to post . . . . and now with a better understanding of my duty to consider how others might read my posts, and yet retaining my right to make my own opinion felt
