I promise to not roll my eyes at VPL food posts (sorry, VPL, couldn't resist). I promise to not think "snarky" when Doug is being witty (again, just couldn't resist). I promise to not let the praises to the rafters about the Morses get stuck in my craw and "force" me to say something. I promise that if I don't like the food or service in a restaurant, I will keep it to myself for 31 days. I promise to not let those poor, misguided conservative souls get under my skin.

I respect the gesture and the suggestion. However, that's been done before. It was called Liar Liar with Jim Carrey. It did not work in the movie nor will it work here.
Its one thing to be honest, quite another to be nasty. Beside which how does one take the negative out of something that is negative?
I believe people should speak their minds as it is more honest and if they are negative by others standards, that's on them ,not you or me and they have to live with themselves
If everyone followed your suggestions to the letter TOTV threads would all be shut down except for For Sale or Just For Fun and a few others.
Hope that is not too negative for some
Just saying.............
