Thanks, I like to think that too.

You started what will most likely become a PARF thread. Don't act surprised when it turns into one. Sometimes our actions have predictable consequences, whether we choose to accept our part in it or not. Most of those protesting lack of civility here are commonly capable of giving as good as they get.

You broached a touchy subject that some people can't wish or philosophize away. It doesn't matter how nicely you couch it. If you put lipstick on a pig, some people are going to see a pig and not respond as well as you might like. It is disingenuous to do it, and disingenuous to protest it.

FWIW, I'd like to think a lot of things that would be comforting; It doesn't make all of them true or likely. I could say a lot of nice things here, but what is the value if they have no valid content. There is a reason that we have a PARF. I am sorry if you think me blunt, but consider the actual message and not how you feel about it.

Intersting perspective Daniel. I tend not to view things through a "political lens" (imo), because I have no political allegiance to either of the two sides...they BOTH suck imo. I'm guilty of starting threads here, that have political overtones....because I don't visit PARF anymore, and like to read perspectives of others that do not either. One of my threads was recently moved over....no problemo. The "tone" of PPOT has improved lately imo, and it hasn't gone unnoticed by me, and I think that's great, because....PARF is PARF...the uncivil side of discourse for many....take it or leave it.

I just leave it

Am I as guilty as Dennis....yep.

I find your posts to be level headed and sound...unlike a LOT of mine btw....sometimes I push buttons...just because, but I never intend to be uncivil...at least I hope it doesn't come across that way....

Thank you...I will ponder this...

For the most part it will be Ok...



But not all mammals will be able to properly adapt and make a complete transition and will be, well, just odd and out of place.

Dennis started an amusing thread. Nota ***** on it.

Nota is as Nota does.
