CappyJon over the course of a few month I've read that you've been dealing with health issues and you have my total respect in regard to the way you've been dealing with these issues. When people are rude to me on the road I blow them a big kiss and that really rattles their cage.
In any confrontation I'm cautious because many people here in Florida are armed and quick to respond in anger. Some people do not age well, what was an annoying character defect while younger can become serious flaws as they age.

"Active listening" seems like a very constructive response - I hear what you're saying, thank you for sharing and caring enough to share.
What seems strange, and discouraging to me is when people make it about the poster and not the posted topic. They question their "credentials" for posting such a thing, or dismiss or minimize the person's experience, especially when it does not reflect a popular or majority view.
I hope that posters, including new posters, keep sharing and caring in spite of that.

quirky, beautifully said. Unfortunately they do like to hide behind their anonymity and take shots at people. Sad way to live in paradise.
