nirejseki, I see your intention but I feel I must protest - while, sure, it's a good idea to get a sense of the other members of this community, the last thing I'd want to recommend is trying to 'imitate' them.. because, well, we're all different people, and that's what keeps things going. Perhaps there tends to be a formal tone but I don't think it's necessarily an innate part of this group; rather I think it's because that's the individual style of some people here, perhaps the more vocal members. And there's nothing wrong with that, naturally; but that doesn't make it the rule. And as far as subject matter goes, although there are a lot of people here with similar opinions, this is meant to be a general community for the French Revolution, and as long as no one here is personally attacked disagreement is bound to happen, and it ought to. Liberty of the press, right?
Also I don't think it's right to say silliness and sarcasm are out of place here - just look at our info page! And for the record, I've had no trouble grasping the meaning of what momesdelacloche says, sarcastic or not - I've been rather ruffled by a couple of comments too but I still wouldn't want to discourage her from participating, because I get the impression she's a very clever person with a serious interest in the Revolution and, well, that's what we're here for, isn't it?
nirejseki, honest I'm not just trying to scold you because I see only well-meaning in what you said, this has just been more of a general statement. Alas, I just want us all to be friends and fall into each others' fraternal embraces. D:
