Carolann?
I agree.
Mean people do suck.
But I honestly don't think there are any mean folks here.
Just as we all do, out there in real-live 3D-life, it's up to each of us to assume the very best of folks, assume that folks all have (and are entitled to) their own opinions and style, assume that no one is really out to get us, that no one is intentionally trying to make our lives miserable.
Here on-line we're all a wee bit crippled by the fact that we can't see one anothers' (in most cases loving) facial expressions.
We also may find it hard to decipher an ironic tongue-in-cheek attempt-at-crazy-humour-in-an-effort-to-break-the-tension barb. Y'know?
Rob put his finger on it quite succinctly a few pages back when he very wisely cautioned folks to be less quick to take offence.
We all know full well that in time of need, we'd all rush to one another's aid; we'd all do anything asked of us to help; we'd all make sacrifices for one another, and a mere angstrom beneath the surface of out prattlings-on, we all really love one another very very much.
Ha! Well except for that guerilla-tactic (Bonjour!)-Buzz-guy, of course!
