Hey guys...
I'm not going to get into this and say who's right and who's wrong. Just
cooling it would be nice for all.
I'm kinda new at this List and I was made to feel very welcome. Coming from
another Olympus-based forum where we get amazingly bad behaviour spilling
over and angering people when it shouldn't, I'm surprised to see this here
so soon. I was hoping that my honeymoon won't be over.
Please help me out here. Let's have peace and both of you, try not to get on
each other's nerves. It would be nice.
I hope I've not offended anyone here. I'm just proposing peace for all.
K.
