If one has a need to disagree with another person, action, or opinion hopefully it will be done graciously and will be accepted graciously.
In a disagreement the two sides just need to agree to disagree and get back to enjoying the beautiful place in which God has gifted us to live.
Yes, there are people on the board who don't understand that you can disagree without being disagreeable. It is eminently possible to criticize someone's opinion without also castigating the person. No matter who you are or where you are from, your opinion is just that, YOUR opinion, and of no more value than that.
