Please, please everyone: posting comments that simply put someone down is not nice. Not naming who is being dissed-- but making it very clear who by coded reference-- doesn't make it any nicer.

Similarly, putting down an entire class of posters (i.e., frequent posters or long-time posters or new posters), is another form of bigotry, is it not? We can't all be that bad.

Let's express our opinions about topics, without making unkind remarks about each other. This is what has always separated TOTV from other discussion boards. We can do this.

My squirt gun is aimed at the reset button. Please help me push it. The codes are:
  1. Start fresh
  2. Forgive and forget. (Give those of us you dislike a second chance.)
  3. If you've left: return, forgive, reset. (Russ? GG? Others?) Please help us squirt down the code words on the reset button.
Please?
Oh dear,
I had posted this an another forum and see that it would apply here too. Please help with the reset. OK?
