... I decided to join. What I like about this forum is that people seem to be civil. I don't like confrontations and so most online forums put me off dreadfully.

So anyway ... hi there

Hi, and welcome. The key to avoiding confrontation is avoiding political whatnot. While it won't fix everything I have found it makes a great start.

So anyway ... hi there

confrontations here play out like

poster 1: "how exactly am i being stupid?"
poster 2: "well, for one you are incorrect."
poster 1: "no i am not."
poster 2: "moron... "

mod: "lets all watch the language here!"
poster 3: "whoah :0"

you better look for cover when it hits the fan!
