Hello all.

Not sure how many of you remember me ... :)

Its been a long time - 6 years or so. Have been busy - moved 2 jobs and am in a fairly senior management position now. Had a son 3 years back. Sobered down considerably (no more aggressive arguments from me) ;)

So who's still there from then ?

I vaguely remember having some sort of argument with Kerrie on astrology and then leaving PF - Kerrie, you still there ? Hello !

I have no idea who you are. I can believe you had an argument with Kerrie about astrology, though.

As long as you have arguments, then you're more than welcome back!

Thanks.

The problem with arguments is they often get nasty. Nasty arguments almost always make me leave a forum sooner or later, as much my fault as anyone else's.

Hi Siv, welcome back! Six years, such a long time. Good to see you're doing well.

Thanks Monique.

Has PF become a little quieter now or am I just looking at the wrong forums ?

Hi SIV! I've been here since 12-03, did you leave just before then? I do remember some of those astrology arguments though.

We have tightened the ropes around here, so while there is still arguing, it's not allowed to get out of hand. And we no longer allow people with third eyes to post in Philosophy, at least not for long. :-p

Glad you have returned.

With over 200,000 registered members, and about 1800 active users online at this moment, I don't think it is quiet :wink: I do think the place has matured, so people may in general may be more careful/thoughtful with their posts.

Hello Siv, welcome back! That's so weird, I just re-started posting here too after a long hiatus. Ah, astrology-well, let's just say that I have altered my beliefs a bit, and adopted the motto "You have the greatest power, the power to choose".
