assalamalakum dear brothers and sisters

I know that you all have probably gotten a lot of positive feedback as
well as criticism about this forum.  I do not usually visit here and
so, I apologize in advance if I'm about to sound repetitive.  

I first would like to say, I think this forum is beautiful, mashaAllah.  
I see a lot of support, encouragement, knowledge, and
brother/sisterhood exemplified here.  However, I am slightly concerned with one thing.  
That is, the interaction between brothers and sisters.  As I was
"travelling" through the "city", I noticed that brothers and sisters say
things to each other and act in ways  that they would probably not say and
act if they were face-to-face. For example, I saw one post where a
sister asked brothers how they would react if a girl called them "hottie."  
I saw a couple of posts where brothers were talking about PMS and
women's menses.  I found these instances to be totally inapporpriate
interaction between Muslim men and women and so, I am wondering if I've
misuderstood something.

I think it's wonderful that this forum has established friendships and
a sense of unity and support, but at the same time, I do not think that
it should compromise the principles of Islam just because it's over a
computer system where brothers and sisters are not physically seeing one
another.  

Jazakum Allahoo Khairun for taking the time to read this post.  May
Allah bless you all!

Wa'alaikum assalam,

Jazak Allahu khairan anonymous for that reminder!  It's well taken.  May Allah guide us all to the Straight Way, and keep us on it.

Wassalamu alaikum.
