And I agree there would be a lot more fluff but maybe, just, maybe, it can get us all to stop and think before we post and hurt another's feelings. There is no way possible that this forum can be all sunshine and lollipops (thank goodness!) -- bad things happen to us, our neighbors, our friends, our community. And I'm not asking that we ignore the bad things in our lives for even one minute, let alone a whole month, just that we stop with all the negativity; stop doubting every post that doesn't fit our conceptions of TV; basically, stop telling folks that something didn't happen just cause you didn't hear of it or the paper didn't mention it. Maybe a month of not putting down someone or something because they/it weren't perfect will get us in the habit of thinking before we post. Certainly can't hurt to try.
