Time for a comment...
Please remember that there are limitations to communication via computer and that these electronic "words on a screen" will sometimes betray you when you are counting on them most.
These electronic words do not allow for FACIAL EXPRESSION; no wink, smile, or raised eyebrow. These electronic words do not allow for a varying TONE; no softness, no yelling, no laughter. But these words DO have the power to HURT and BELITTLE as some recent posts have demonstrated.
There are a few of you who need a remedial course in dealing with these "words on a screen." It should be mandatory that you read a post at least twice before you fire off any response to make sure you truly understand what the "words on a screen" actually say. There's no worse feeling than realizing after hitting the SEND key that you totally misunderstood another's message.
You should also remember that there are real human beings reading your words and write accordingly. There's enough rudeness and disrespect in the world already. We don't need more of it here on MoPo.
Just my nickel on the subject...
