I think you can voice your opinion and still be welcomed. With the large number of people on here varied subjects are bound to come up. Hence, that may be one of the reasons for the huge growth.
The basic premise of quilting is still the main subject. As with any main subject whether in person conversation or on a message board other variables (subjects) will be introduced.
I personally enjoy the thought of coming to this wonderful forum to gain knowledge of different subjects without having to cruise all over the inernet.
Especially early in the morning with my cup of coffee and still wearing my pajamas!!

i love the board and all the topics. you can read only the ones you think you will enjoy or click away quickly if you get one that doesn't interest you.

I love the board....I have never tried to read everything, my life doesn't give me the time to do so...I get on in the morning with my coffee and once in the afternoon...I read the recent topics that seem to interest me, and usually find one posting that makes me laugh...thank you to all the wonderful people on the board that make me laugh, show me how to make a rug, comment on the beautiful quilts, and post silly pictures....I have grown attached to all of you :)

I am enjoying reading items in all categories. I go through and pick and choose what I like. Viva diversity.

let's all be careful to avoid any more of that, please.
For the most part, though, i would not classify this as a rant, rave, vent, steam, or otherwise poisonous post.
Let's face it. Until somebody invents a magic pill we can all afford, we shall all remain imperfect. we're going to make mistakes. it is not the end of the world.
SQUIRREL!!!

I hope I was not one of the snarky comments, I truly did not mean it to be. Sometimes things typed come across different. So if I have offended (especially moderators who do a great amount of work) I am sorry.
I was just pointing out the differences I have seen in other boards and here. But as I said I am thankful for this place and love it here all topics included lol

I love getting new ideas, and as long as we are all mindful of where we're posting it's easy enough to skip over things that don't interest me...for the moment.
I'd never heard of a Bow Tucks bag until I saw one here, and I ended up making several variations on them as gifts. I practiced a LOT of quilting skills on those bags! I also never thought about how embroidery could enhance my quilts; it isn't something I'm up to today, but it's an idea that will stay with me.
Not for everyone, but reading about other arts and techniques has been very educational for me.
