I'll be surprised if you do get any backlash as imo this forum is a place where people can post their opinions, and if people disagree it is done politely and respectfully. Even the most heated of exchanges are usually resolved by simply agreeing to disagree, and that's what I love about our forum. I agree with the post in essence, of course it's better to be kind to one another. Hands up, I've said some of the unkind things in this thread myself and it's not because I want to be nasty, it's because I have gotten carried away with the soap opera nature this thread has become. I will say, that these comments have jolted me and I most certainly will remember not to be gratuitously unkind and to be a little more considerate in my postings. Over the years, the presenters have received a huge amount of critisism, including personal comments, and those who have disagreed have on the whole been able to put their point across without being shouted down or insulted, and it's extremely rare to find regular posters attacking or insulting others, although I believe it has happened recently on a different thread. I didn't agree with MTTBN's post in it's entirety, but I agree with their overall message. I certainly don't want to make any of my fellow forumites feel uncomfortable with what I write, and I'm happy to be called out when I've overstepped the mark. As I said before, despite the "soap opera" that this thread has become, there crux of it is about an extremely worrying addiction and this is worthy of discussion. I hope we can still have a bit off a giggle as you said, for my part I'll try not to get too carried away and forget the basic respect that people (well most people) deserve.
