Hi Gas Forum members,
Yesterday I had a chance to email with the recent new member who requested that his account be deleted on Thursday. Long story short, he came here to learn and share knowledge but left feeling he had been disrespected and treated rudely by several members. Looking back at the discussion thread, I agree that he was not treated with the respect and kindness I expect from all members.
So a gentle reminder...we're trying to attract new members, not drive them away. We all have good and bad days, good and bad moods, especially during these difficult times. Yesterday may have been one of those days for some of us. If you're feeling frustrated, put the keyboard down and come back in an hour, you'll probably be in a better frame of mind after a break.
Please be patient with one another. Don't jump to conclusions, make judgments and accusations, or criticize too quickly. Give people the benefit of the doubt, especially new members. Please go out of your way to make people feel welcome.
Thank you. I appreciate your cooperation.
Chris
