Of late there has been talk of a "clique" in the forums, driving people away. Whilst we know this is not the case, and is an accusation from some troll, or nameless person with a hidden agenda, it got me thinking about how easily good people can be thwarted.

By it's very open nature the forum is an easy outlet for negativity, and because we all respect the right to have our say, it is difficult to fight against. Having said that, I believe, we are duty bound to keep the forums lively and a place where all can speak freely, but that does not give anyone the right to attack someone's person, as happened recently in a hotly debated topic. Negative trolls should not attract the attention the crave and there posts are best left unchallenged.

I implore all those who use the forums contsructively to continue doing so, if this attracts the label of a clique then so be it.
