I don't understand why every little thing on the forums turns into a racial debate.
To think that we are in positions that allow us to talk to the public directly or indirectly but we can't even get along. If you don't have anything constructive to add then don't say anything at all.

There are some people who offer sound advice on this forum, yet some people will use this forum to attack others and not contribute anything worthwhile to the topics at hand. I suggest that if people don't have sound advice for topics discussed,rather not contribute anything at all. This is a forum for PR professionals or those interested in entering this field, how do we as PR professionals expect to be taken seriously when people attack each other for spelling, yes it is important to write well as a PR professional, but i appeal to all who use this forum to, conduct yourselves in a manner that is professional.

I have recently entered the PR industry and submitted a forum on Biz-community regarding a question I had related to the field of PR. The responses I received were brilliant and really helpful. In my opinion, based on the experience I've had, PR professionals have no problem to offer the "greener" PRO's some sound advice based on their experience and knowledge.

But maybe the "barbarians" you refer to were merely in a good mood at the time.
