It may be reasonable to ask that newer posters receive some slack in the tone in which they are greeted but it's not unreasonable to request they offer more details when announcing major issues. Compromise in tone of discussion and detailed information seems possible.

There have been major discussions on this board, some in which I have participated. I believe many of us involved in different points of view have a lot to learn from each other. There may be small incidences of rancor but, I personally always continue to mentally reload the cases that have been made on this forum and rethink my own position.

I believe the viewpoints shared on this forum are very important to all of us even though they don't always mesh with my own. I don't have any malice toward the people with whom I have disagreed and realize we may not have much in common as close friends. Still I respect their right to voice their opinion and to offer us their validation for their opinion. We are all part of the human fabric in this world.

I'd hate to see this become a forum of little ole people primarily discussing the weather. Good evening to all of you.

I wholeheartedly agree! Furthermore, asking me to refrain from speaking my mind/feelings is like asking me to remove my creche from the lawn at Christmas because it might offend a neighbor. I simply cannot give up some things because another might be offended...even if for a little while.
