Why is it so hard to use this forum for good, intelligent, respectful discussion and debate? I find myself having to walk away from it for weeks, sometimes months at a time because of the mean spirited, confrontational personalities that seem to have a consuming desire to take things and MAKE things so personal. SO. LAME.
There is an abundance of good, thought provoking, valid content and subjects throughout this forum. Why do some people insist on using it as a weapon, looking for any weakness to exploit and point an accusing finger at another person? Most people who do that hide behind anonymity. I don't care if you want to do that or not, but it isn't a free ticket to be snide and negative. It doesn't bode well for the world if we can't even get along in writing. !
Here's a suggestion. If you wouldn't speak in a certain way or say a certain thing to someone's face, then don't write it either. It's called etiquette. It's called class.
Dis heartened.
