It's in Black and White as it should be.

No fine gray line, you are on the edge of crossing.

It's clear and easy for anyone to understand.

I LOVE my Active Rain family!

I have read SOOOOOOOO many blog posts in the Active Rain, and still have not stumbled upon a single post where The Golden Rule has been broken. I'm sure some are out there, but happily I have not found any.

I LOVE the RESPECT that members have for each other.
I LOVE how HELPFUL members are to one another.
I LOVE the ENCOURAGEMENT everyone gives.

We are fortunate that the Active Rain Guidelines clearly require "Respect" and enforce those guidelines. I am a member of a couple of other forums, where that is not the case, and actually I am almost terrified to post anything on them.

On the "other" forums I'm referring to, almost ALWAYS my posts come under attack or are "challenged" in some way. I have taken a post from AR where all the comments were wonderful and put the same post on another forum and been torn to SHREDS by the members.

It's refreshing to have a place like Active Rain to speak freely, share, and learn, without fearing a verbal attack.

THANK YOU ACTIVE RAIN!
