I would absolutely LOVE to see our members act the way I know they can...civil and thoughtful...I have seen it in each and every person who posts right now. I also refuse to accept that we cannot get there as a community, and have seen strides towards this goal over the years. Part of the reason a few nameless members are no longer with us, was the roadblock they represented to achieveing this.....as unfortunate as that is.
I ask that we all try to put an effort into thoughtful discussion, and refrain from simply regurgitating the same tired platforms....this goes for EVERYONE who posts in this forum. Shortly I will attempt a small experiment in an attempt to get us all to think differently....just need to think it through a bit more.
This is Your Forum people....try to make it work....OK
