[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 428084, member: 4386"] Guys, I didn't feel that the response was all that friendly - the tone is commonly pretty aggressive here, and it does not make us friends - a bit of diplomacy would help our interests more. I actually get very negative responses from some who have seen the tone here, and who dismiss us as a group FOR THAT REASON. And they are in the mining industry - they feel it would be unwise to be seen associated with us. Some give input into legislation. You can say "stuff them then" but it does harm (e.g. they assume that the minority who adopt such a tone are representative, and assume that we are irresponsible and not to be trusted to behave in a reasonable manner out in the bush or obey laws and regulations). I've avoided commenting, but have considered leaving a few times because of such issues - comments about people being "sensitive" etc miss the point a bit. That being that this is supposed to be a fun group, enjoying a hobby and helping each other do so. [/QUOTE]
