...we are near Christmas. We are near the 3rd year of board life. We are (or have to be) humans.
I never have been upset with any of you (with the exception of those 2 NOT-HUMAN people that attack like outlaws some here), and no one were (I hope) upset with me (perhaps some misunderstanding, but nothing so bad)
I'm so annoyed and sad for the little (and big) things happening on the board: -I hate you- -You hate me- -You post stupid things- -You have not clusters- I don't love such things- -You don't love such things- and so on.
We are a board of sufferers, we have to avoid (despite that's the Internet use) all these things. If we don't want to do this for us, DO for the newbies, that could not understand and leave, without help.
This board have ended the chapter of 'exchanging suggestions' -between us oldcomers.We know all we can about clusters. We cannot destroy the Demon now, we can continue to fight, but no definately cure at the moment!
Now we are (and have to be) a support group for newbies and we have to use this board to grow friendliness and mutual help during clusters. We can use this board for help, for caring, for jokes....but not for hate.
This board HAVE NOT TO BE a place where hate, picking, revenge, envy and jealousy grow.
I'm not such religious, and I'm surely not a saint, nor a good teacher, but this is a thing to do. For us all is mandatory to mantain a fairplay we are losing now.
Truly, nothing is happened that start me to write this, but many little things in the last months, many little, stupid, childish thing that are not correct for all the mankind, in any place.
Please, take this as a Christmas gift to us all
Ciao from your italian friend
