It gives a sense of where someone is coming from, and whether you want to have them as a friend, or invite them into your home.

Some people prefer to be anonymous, so they can say what they want, without impunity. A little kindness goes a long way, for most people.

We will all disagree on one thing, or another, but let's do it respectfully.

Spell check drives me crazy. It is always correcting "its" to "it's" and then I have to correct it back. So whenever I see some wonky grammar or punctuation, I blame it on spell check!

Loved that show. People were real. I wish we had the problems that Mayberry had.

If every poster was like this guy, we would have no problems on this forum. If every person was like this guy, we would have peace on earth.

I love you Salybow.

OMG...Redwitch Didn't mean me. I am so relieved. I am going to go back and delete all my defensive posts.

But Red, I am still gonna publicly remind everyone that there is no pee in Lake Sumter.


Whew. OH Happy Day. Love you Red.

Yeuh, evarbuddy jest backe of uh liddle. Uh, thets a jok bi the wey.

I really, truly didn't mean anyone specific. I just really don't understand the need to publicly correct. I was taught that if something was amiss and easily correctable, you told the person quietly and privately. To correct where it might cause embarrassment was rude and unkind. So, whether telling someone their fly is open loudly around other people or correcting someone's grammar, spelling or wording here in public is just plain rude and arrogant IMO.
