Just a personal observation: why are the people on this forum more mean-spirited than another forum to which I belong (and am a moderator for) that has Hawai'i expats as its primary audience? If there really is harmony in Hawai'i, why does this forum not reflect that? Why are people being criticized for honestly sharing their opinions? Just because you might not agree with what's being said, you don't have to write wimpy, sarcastic comments when you decide that a post should be rated negatively (or rate and run with no reason why). That certainly doesn't tell the receiver of the comment anything about how to improve (and telling the person his opinion is crap isn't a fair critique as far as I'm concerned). I believe this is still a relatively "free" country and that people are entitled to their own opinions. I judge a post for its content, and certainly not for niggly things like spelling, and not necessarily if I agree with the opinions stated or not.
BTW: The other forum doesn't allow for reputation points, which I'm sure the Admins could have instituted if they wanted to. Maybe that's why that forum is more mellow than this one.
