Well said quirky! I agree that divergence of opinion is good and healthy. The thing that I don't like is when people get disagreeable or personal. Like Gracie said when someone is happy they should not be attacked for looking through rose colored glasses, that is the way they see things and that is equally as legitimate as someone who sees things the opposite. Discussion sites like TOTV are always on the edge of turning some people off, as often posters will express their opinion in a way that is off-putting, when they probably would not do that in a polite, face-to-face discussion. There is plenty of room for misinterpretation and misunderstanding in posts that are often typed quickly and without a lot of forethought, and which sometimes misportray the true thoughts of the poster. I have been guilty of posting things that I later looked at and realized they did not truly convey my intent. Hopefully, this is not one of them
