I've seen a lot of comments that speak to a general tone that's not preferred, but with no specific objection. If someone says something to make you hot under the collar, take it up with them. I don't know who is going to change a thing by writing or reading another post about how someone out there should write nicer stuff. What's nice to one is nasty to the next. Why is it that when someone says something of a political or religious nature, it freaks people out? Why is disagreement such a problem? There are obviously many differing views among the membership. What's the big issue with seeing them expressed in print? OK, so someone gets a bit chippy once in a while, or says something ignorant, but heck, you're probably on the other side of the country from the sender, and anyway, doesn't PD make you a tad irritable once in a while? Cut some slack. If certain concepts get your dander up, don't you want to talk about it? Are we friends or what? Can we talk or can't we? Come on, lighten up. I mean that in the nicest way. Enjoy the holidays!
