Alan,
I am writing as I just saw your post in January about negative comments on the Forum, and wanted you to know how much I appreciate the Forum, this beautifully written piece on this issue, and your good work on behalf of our community.
I believe I know to some degree the effort, expertise, time and patience needed to do this work, and just wanted to let you know my sincere appreciation.

I most assuredly second this. The OGR Forums is a case of social media being a useful, positive and even fun tool. This doesn't just happen but must be constantly watched and nurtured without a feeling of heavy-handedness and I thank the good people at OGR for this platform and it's maintenance. It does help that most of the people who post here are pretty careful to be themselves positive.

I also agree....
I'd like to think of the OGR forum as a more intelligent area of social media. Most of the time it is useful, helpful, insightful and interesting, but when the negative comments start flying. I find another post to read.
Recently, a celebrity posted that she thought of social media as the toilet of the internet. At times I agree.
Civility matters.
