Is every poster / member considered equal here on this form?

equality is an odd thing. No one is to measure oneself against another. It is puritanical to do so. It is best to just consider there is no equality but just animosity towards each other for some parts.
or there is the other way civility and charms where all of us are at a same intellectual level. There does not seem to be a middle ground.

Ouch, I'm sorry you feel that way Casian, but I disagree. If animosity is the only feeling we express toward each other here, I want no part of the forum. But I'm staying, because I think we all have a common interest in mind, as writers, which is: to improve our writing, and express it. I know you probably feel you have nothing but enemies here as of lately, but that's not true. All of the negative responses your getting are rooted in pure frustration, because people here have a hard time interpreting what your saying, sometimes myself included. But if it makes you feel any better, I can see your intelligent. I may have to read some of your posts 10 times before I get it, but I know you have intriguing points to make. We just want some clarity on your part, so we can contribute more to the discussion, instead of sitting there dumbfounded.

But if you feel animosity is the primary feeling toward one another, maybe you'd be more comfortable somewhere else. Unless that's just your general world view, than I give my sincere apologies.

Dear Shaman what I said earlier was slightly misguided from my part and I do apologise in advance. What I had posted earlier was written hastily and did not read it to check it was ok and therefore added to it. What I wanted to say is sometimes the overexcitement about something said written gets the best of us/me and one writes something and the other reads the other way. Many times I read sometimes and misunderstand it and so my reply does not capture the essence of the point nor does it counteract as a reply. It is simply down to misunderstanding . There is no malice there whatsoever from either parties.
I agree that the way I write is partly the reason and I try now as much as I can to initiate clarity. I do enjoy LitNet and have many friends here.
And yes so we are equal in terms of measures and what we contribute. Tolerance is one of them and enquiring for the sake of learning is another.
Everyone is different I guess haha.

I pretty much search any thread I'm interested in for a response by any of the following; stlukesguild, jbi, that guy who reads norse stuff and mortalterror (threads where mortalterror and stluke fight are particularly amusing) and skim/ignore everyone else unless they say something I particularly agree or disagree with.
