Ladies please calm down and lets have some constructive conversation that doesn't end unhappily.

As to the new members ... For some reason I have had a bunch of them contact me through various channels telling me that they are afraid to participate here because of all the vitriol. They just want to have fun and don't want to get involved in arguments. I didn't want to get shoved into the position of being their advocate, but maybe because I'm such a blabber mouth they figured I'd speak up in their place. You have probably had a few of them contact you, too? That's why I suggested a beginners room where we agree to keep it nice and never drag existing quarrels onto that board. I.e. A safe space. And again, a place to tutor and to guide them to the info they need from previous discussions so we don't end up with a thousand threads talking about the same thing.

Surely there is some portion of this idea that you can agree with? If I worded my proposal in a way that was offensive, my apologies. But it is almost impossible to anticipate every possible permutation of wording that might offend one individual or another.

If you don't like this suggestion, offer some constructive criticism and offer some alternative solutions.
