I think it's an okay idea, just it came out of nowhere, quite surprisingly so.
I understand completely separating the more jocular posts from the serious.

I have to say though...there have been many times when people have said things even in their serious posts that had me biting my tongue to keep from responding in a negative way. I just didn't respond at all. Just really bothers me when someone gets offended so easily. But again, I understand the need for a separate forum.

Or, we could all just do it in Social Chat.

I often don't feel like I fit in anyway because sometimes there people here who think that I don't know what I'm talking about because I'm not experiencing what they are experiencing.

We're all here because of one challenge or another.
