Can't we all just get along? Over the last 6 months, there have been a number of rants on this list that just seem to keep growing. They morph into beasts with no heart or soul. There has been name calling and childish verbal attacks that have no place in a list comprised of 'adults'. Sure we all have our opinions, and in a place when asked our opinions can be presented. I feel as if I am not one of the 'smart' people on this list, but on occasion I have been able to share my insight and wisdom for things I had implemented in the past. I don't usually respond to things, as there are plenty of responses for questions raised. There are times when I have had to use Google or Wikipedia to understand a post, because my vocabulary is not what some peoples are. I think it is time for us all to take a deep breath, relax and remember what this list was created for. I agree with the recent comment about humor/humour. Different parts of the world, different cultures and different lifestyles make things hard to translate. In the US, we can't even agree on what to call a carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage. Is it really a pop, soda or Coke? I am sorry to ramble here, but I love the resources this list makes available for me. I gleen bits and pieces nearly every day that make my life easier.
If you care to bash me for this, go ahead. My skin is thick from years of poor choices, but do it offline, so we don't morph into another long series of rants that show our lack of civility.
