I remember when I first joined The forum was really friendly there was rarely any huge arguments and people generally got along, the forum is still kindal ike that to an extent but there's a darker edge to it now, there's a lot more sniping and arguing and i think it's making TIBB a very uncomfortable Forum. People have said it for ages that TIBB isn't as great as what it was but why can't we make it like it was?

The awards yesterday was a great example, people were being horrible to winners and people were bitching back in response (including myself) and I think we ruined it which is ultimately rude to Corkie, the winners and anyone who was enjoying the thread.

I've also noticed a growing trend of members insulting and spreading rumours about certain singular members which I think isn't right. I'm not saying that you got to love each member but is it possible that if you don't like someone then try not to talk about them?

I'm not saying don't argue pretend to be happy all the time since that's impossible. But is it possible that if you have an argument you can try to sort it out in the thread? and not let it spill over to other parts of TIBB, if you can't could you agree to disagree and let sleeping dogs lie?

I'm not trying to act like some sort of saint, I know I've done wrong in the past but I think we all need to learn to live and let live.
I personally apologise to Corkie and anyone who I might have offended yesterday.

C'mon people Live and let live!

EDIT: I'm not attention seeking, or trying to start a fight. I just want people to either talk through their problems or live and let live.
