Hummer to be honest Gyspys remark "Unfortunatly that period doesn't last long, and it's either non-stop fights or...nothing....." says it all but she did forget the insults, abuse that go with the non-stop fights. When I first joined it was in the micddle of a cat fight which was sometimes quite funny. Over the weeks it seems that the opposing sides in QL ( and they exist and are oblivious) have taken over and even what starts out as an interesting thread gets turned into personal abuse within the first relpy page. This of course reflects our world today, the opposing fractions in what ever sphere, whether religious, political etc are getting further apart and there dislike of each other is getting stronger.
We cannot ignore what is happening all over the world and it is reflected in QL as this is a melting pot of the world with all its different colours.
