After I voted (No, because it can be discussed in the Gen. chat area) I was happy and proud of everyone when I saw that the majority of votes were the same as mine.

As usual, I am out of the loop as to why this poll is necessary. There is a mix of many topics in General Chat...some of which I look at and respond to, some that I look at and don't respond to, and some that don't snag my attention at all. Time is a bigger issue for me. I have very little time to look over everything here...and I'm not prolific enough to set up a system. I just go to General Forum and scan the topics and hope the clock doesn't run out before I can see all I want to see. If I have more time, I then go off to another forum[s]. I try to respond to things I started or posted to and all the while I am watching the clock. It's a rare occasion when I have hours here to forum jump.

As I like change, I'd get used to it if I had to, but I don't care for segregation under the guise of hoping not to offend! If I don't like a topic I either say so or I don't say anything. I'm adult enough to take a hit or be hit (in type...so to speak). What I don't deal well with is rules being made up for one or two situations that effect the entire congregation when it isn't the entire congregations responsibility for the isolated situations. Example: We all play different radio stations at work...one person played theirs too loud and it offended two people...one person complained...the boss made all of us turn off our radios and we can only use headsets now. We're talking 2 offended people and one official complaint out of 29 total people in my department. I think the better way would have been to tell the offender to lower the tunage! Done and done!
