·I make a point of not visiting the Amazon forums because they seem to be very unfriendly. I don't spend my time on my computer to respond to mean emails, and whilst at a forum, I am there to offer both advice if I feel I might know something that will help (unlikely but occasionally I manage it) or to learn from the advice of others.
When I first came to kindleboards I found that it was a really helpful place, and somewhere that I have learnt a lot from other more established self-pubbed authors. Then I came here today and saw the recently locked thread after it got a bit out of hand.
Perhaps we need a reminder for everybody, new, not so knew like me, and the more well established people amongst us that there is no place for being rude on KB. If you are offered advice bysomebody because you asked for it, take it gracefully and don't respond by attacking their opinion. If you disagree, perhaps try doing it politely. The last thing any of us want in a forum like this is for people to either feel nervous to ask questions, or to be afraid to give an honest opinion in return, even if it is not a positive one.
That's just an opinion though, feel free to diagree
