Most posters are respectful of others, state their opinion and defend it without attacking the opposition, discuss things with taste and thoughtfulness. It's a great thing.
However, there are also those posts which make one cringe. A disagreement that becomes angry, a little too much passion attached to a differing point of view, fueled by the anonymity afforded by sites like this one. In these cases, I often wonder how that same exchange would happen if it were done under our real names, face-to-face, fully public, in front of family and friends. How would one 'post' if the grandkids were watching?
Civility is important everywhere. I don't mind some pepper on the ball as long as it isn't thrown to hurt someone. Let's keep this site a 'safe zone', where we can state our opinions and have some fun.
I guess I'm having a bit of a soapbox moment, but I couldn't help myself. Please forgive.

Parker, thank-you so much for getting on your soap box. I love this post.
Folks, most of us that are members on this forum are neighbors or are soon-to-be neighbors. We come from all parts of the Country, we are different religions, political affiliations, married, single, divorced, and yes, now some of the next generation of Villagers have recently arrived. We came here for one reason and that is because we love TV. Lets learn from the wisdom of those that preceded us here and try to understand the World that those of us newbies have had to live in.
I too love TOTV, it has so much valuable information on it. We are a community, lets stick together and be civilized and respectful to each other.
I too will do a better job. Again, thank-you for your post.
Katie
