And I know that technically we're not supposed to talk about RYLers on that thread. However, the point of the thread is to say to someone what you can't actually say to them. Presumably this refers to real-life people that we feel we can't talk to in person. But where do you draw the line when it comes to addressing RYLers on that thread? Because many of us do know each other in real life, and sometimes we need to say things to each other and can't.

I personally think that it should be in RV if thats the case, simply because (and I have seen this happen) someone will say something and then the person its aimed at quotes and replies, then the other person quotes and replies back an really thats not the point of the thread. If it were my choice then it wouldnt be allowed to talk about/to anyone on RYL because it defeats the object of the thread,although were pretty lenient with the talking about other members on that thread.

I know its not entirely fair to make people take it to a ranting and venting thread but I think that would be the best solution.x

	There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you. But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself. I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
