Are we all getting along better now?

I hate when people fight on here. It just causes further polarization and everyone gets dug into their viewpoint. No one's going to significantly change their behavior by being chastised or insulted.

Peace!

which is a bit hypocritical of me considering that I am in the middle of it so often.

3. Well, peace to you too, skooooo.

But there are times when you just can't let it go on any further. I tolerate a lot of stuff on here that I do not appreciate, and mostly I keep my own counsel. But there are times...

4. Healthy discourse, skooooo

Beats picking up a gun and blowing away someone you disagree with, which seems to be the rule in the world lately.

6. Don't you think a lot of this depends on....

...what mood you're in when you read something? If I'm in a bad mood, it's easier for something to rub me the wrong way and set me off. If I'm in a good mood, I can overlook or ignore things.

There's not one person on DU that doesn't have some ideas or attitudes that I would probably be offended by, but...oh well. I should just drop it.

Seems like when it rains it pours.

9. I see another multi-thread flame war coming on

As usual it looks like the worst of it will be due to people talking past one another and assuming the worst about others' opinions. :freak:

Here's to the mods who may have a loathsome task ahead of them: :toast:
