All about giving positive feedback

This is inspired by some negative comments I've read (and received) on other forums, but I feel inspired to share it on GIRS. I also feel the need to express my gratitude to GIRS for not having the negative comment culture that can often plague a forum! Way to go GIRS!
Now to provide my rant: I'm not sure why people are sometimes so urged to leave "smart" or "sarcastic" remarks. It's good to have helpful, thought out, & critical comments rather than ones that are picking on folks & outright criticizing them. Where would the hobby be if people became unwilling to ask very basic questions because other people might think it's "stupid"? Yes, there have been times I've unintentionally hurt somebody with the wording of my comment but never have I intentionally provoked somebody with a negative comment. Please be kind with your questions, comments, suggestions, and corrections. You know how disappointing it can be to someone searching for help to get hit with negativity? No, nobody ever really does since we all sit behind the keys sometimes 1000's of miles apart, often knowing nothing about the lives of the ones we direct our language toward. Remember that not everybody has the same amount of experience, help, and money at their disposal. Many of us probably wouldn't choose the same words if we were face to face. Always be sure to read previous comments on the thread the best you can & relate to the original reason for the thread. Choose your wording carefully, as not everybody brushes off negativity well, or finds sarcasm amusing. Sarcasm especially has little place for the online world unless positive and marked with **sarcasm intended** or similar indication. Be good people! Be good!
