As a matter of fact, I am already happy. More and more we get closer to civil communication.

Your clarification is good. I still say those posters who engage in sarcasm, whiney complaints, and poor service are in the minority. Maybe they will knock it off for a month.

I hope that they continue to post - allows me to be wary if/when I need to go to one of those places AND the oppty to reply that I experienced same or better than the other poster - for the benefit of others down the line. As a career human resources professional, I was often called upon to resolve 'problems' - usually by transfer or separation from the dept or the office altogether.

Having caught this signature, my thought is that it could well be a good nomination of a "Swimdawg Signature Award of the Week!" How about it swimdawg?

Once again the 2% command so much attention. And their behavior is used to taint the good behavior of the other 98%.

Makes no sense (not intended as a negative comment jst a predicament of fact).

Default Good Idea

After reading several posts I really think its a good idea to try it for a month and see how it goes because something has to be done about all the negativity I have read recently ......
I had a friend who used to read all the negative comments and was getting to the point of seriously wanting to jump off the old sales center in Spanish Springs , the only reason he didn't was because he was afraid of heights, so he then contemplated throwing himself in front of street legal golf cart but he tried it at a roundabout and they all missed him a mile because no one could figure out where or when to exit .....Finally he decided to move to Stone Crest and was never heard from again...

I miss him , by about 8 feet actually, as I couldn't figure out where to exit either......
Right Turn Fumar.......

Can I chime in here??? I think Red has an absolutely great idea. I don't think it should be hard to accomplish. Can you imagine, all this conversation just to ask for some reasonable respect on this forum? I'm in!!

Good idea Dee, Happy New Year to everyone and I'm following the new rules.
