Title: Hello Everyone
Post by: Brietta on March 21, 2014, 09:40:40 PM
I'm not usually lost for words, but feeling a bit overawed at the moment.
Hoping to be able to make future contributions which are up to the high standards expected on this forum.

Thanks for the welcome, John and Sherlock Holmes.
A lot of my opinions have been helped along by the discussions on this forum.  I am so pleased to have been accepted as I have seen many posts I either wished to comment on or ask questions about. 
Now that I'm able to do so and although I do have my own firm views and prejudices a quick browse has intimidated me a bit and made me realise how little I actually do know or have to contribute.
That won't last.
Going to be no time at all till you'll be putting me in my place and keeping me on the straight and narrow.

I remember way back when I first ventured onto a forum, I put my toe in the water and nearly lost it because I chose to espouse an alternative opinion to that expressed by those who ran it.  It can be very intimidating and indeed off putting.  It took me a while to regain the confidence to continue to post but in the end I realised it was a closed shop forum with everyone usually agreeing with each other.  In time I moved on because that sort of a platform is going nowhere and today consists of only two or possibly three members.

On that experience we have tried to build a forum platform here which is open to all comers.  Everyone is welcome here regardless of their views and beliefs, all we ask is that a common sense prevails in everything they post.  Respect for others and seeking the truth are foremost to us here on UK Justice Forum.

Please do enter into the discussions whenever you want, we have members here from all sorts of background, from all over Europe and as far apart as Australia and the USA.  If you need any help all you have to do is shout.

I think you are succeeding in your aim of allowing all points of view to be fairly represented. 
At the moment I'm concentrating on the McCann boards and know that because people feel so strongly discussion can get a bit heated.

Also very interested in the Pretorius trial, but since my mind is already firmly made up on that one, probably won't comment.

For me, the rule of only allowing posts which have provenance if 'facts' are being stated proves the probity of the Forum.
I've dipped my toe in the water a couple of times and am beginning to get over my initial jitters. 

I don't know how you manage to keep on top of so many different issues as the discussions everywhere move so quickly with comments being added incessantly.
I'm struggling to keep apace of the few I have made so far. 

The pet board is a great idea.  At least it allows us to discuss dogs without coming to blows.
