It is very different in style and the way it has developed in comparison to here, but who is to say it's right or wrong ?
Again it comes back to personal choice.
If I had more time I would be in the Lounge much more but as it is I spend the majority of my available time here in this one.
Yes you definitely need thick skin and I have known a few lovely people get hurt in there when their defenses were vulnerable for whatever reason.
What's the saying "If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen". I don't mean that in a derogatory way.......I just mean if it's not to your liking then don't venture there.
I don't think a few individuals should expect a whole forum to change it's ways because they don't like it. The majority rules - okay....that's life.
You have to remember why the Lounge was created in the first place. This forum was full of complaints about the incessant banter that occurred on almost every thread started.......and the consequent hijacking that took place. (yes, I was a culprit)
The Mods created the Lounge so we could chinwag about all and sundry nonsense without interfering with this one. Maybe a similar thing was happening in the other country forums too as the Lounge soon filled up with perceived delinquents from across the globe. It evolved from that point to what it is today and I say again it serves a purpose.
I think the overall balance on this forum is pretty good and believe me you wouldn't want to revert to what it was like before the Lounge was created.
Hail to the Lounge......the saviour of BE forum sanity.

Re: BE: Are we chasing away...?
I'm trying (and mainly failing miserably ) to cut back BE usage. Still in early stages of new job, so should make more of an effort. This place is just so addictive!
I've not heard from Deb in ages either. Last I knew she was working two jobs, I think? I guess she's just busy getting things settled, now she's here.
And glad to hear we're OK after all! We're still holding back judgement on you States-based lot ...
