While it is nice to know that I am not alone in wanting to make this forum a better place, it is very disapointing that things have got so bad and have reached this point.
As I said in another thread, as often happens, it appears that the issues are mainly caused by a loud minority, yet the result is effecting the quiet majority.
One of the people who did not feeling comfortable publicly commenting on this issue any more, due to the attacks, suggested I put forward this poll. This way people can silently cast their vote without need of writing a message and without fear of reprisal.
I would like to thank that person for coming up with this concept, and welcome you all to have your say on the status of these forums.
NOTE: the purpose of this is not to create more tension, but rather to get a proper understanding of what the quiet majority feel, so we can take notice and move forward in a more positive direction.
Please cast your vote, and if game, have your say by posting a message.

). I think the recent "debates" have only escalated because sometimes comments are taken too seriously and way out of context. However, these debates have not soured my experience of this forum! Nor have I ever been ridiculed or offended by anyone. When someone with little technical know-how (like me 
) posts a question, I have not yet seen them getting alienated by anyone.
