Many of us may have very strong, deeply personal opinions right now
about what's happening in america, for better or worse. i'd hate to
see the value of 313 get eclipsed by personal / us vs. them / partisan
/ policy attacks that devolve into a pissing contest, stereotypes and
cliches. please everyone make an effort to not use the list as your
plank/stump, and respect each other even when you opinion is 180
degrees opposite of someone else. i have very strong feelings too but
knowing when/where to discuss them is part of what makes you a asset or
liability to 313. this can be done in a respectful, open and on-topic
way... or a poisonous, personal attack route... make sure it doesn't
go the latter and keep things on topic.
also, just so all the non-US listmembers know, it's probably a
sensitive time to scrub salt in any fresh wounds.. proceed with caution
as you trip over each other to all chime in. are you really adding
value to 313 or just throwing rocks at an angry bees nest already.
let's all cool out. and have a stiff drink for that matter.
