Let's be nice

[Diane]

OK, guys and gals, Let's be nice. There is a thread below that seems to have stirred up some disagreement amoung a few here. This has always been a NICE board, and everyone here loves, well maybe likes, well maybe tolerates the rest... :) :) :)

Sometimes a communication error starts something, and the next thing we know the disagreement is about a different topic entirely. We have to truly believe that with all of the different sections of this great country and other great countries, that our descriptions of things and situations are different. That doesn't mean we are not all good, well maybe great...well maybe tremendous people.

Oh well, somebody has to be the Polly Anna around here.

Atta girl Diane, we must use our manners like our parents taught. Opinions are important, and there are certainly polite ways to use them.

Hey I agree.. since I'm one of the few Democrats on this site I think I have taken my fair share of "shots" .. gee Chip is one "nice guy" (this coming from a "dumb" Democrat)
From the tone of his posts I, at least, think I have a good notion of who was sending me the nasty E-M's :)
I for one am going to stick to the optical stuff from now on, I'm not that big on the stupid childish crap of insulting people just because they do not "vote" the same way I do..
I think I'll stay away for a while and let this blow over. I get tired of deleting the insulting E-M's I have been getting. Not everyone is educated or mature as people like Darris, Chad and Pete who, though we disagree on the basic political views, didn't take it to the level of someone like Chip and a few others..
Someone drop me an E-M when the civility returns to the board :) Life is to short to put up with narrow minded B.S. from some people I do not know, throwing around blanket statements that are insulting

My sincerest apologies. I just love to get people stirred up to see just what they believe in. Just wish more people believe in something no matter what it is.

I think it's one thing to express you opinion, disagree it you like.......but to send personal hateful e-mails is counterproductive to the whole idea of open speech.

Acutally, I have nothing against our Democrat Optiboarders. I was one once....but then I grew up. But that doesn't mean that Democrats don't have good ideas...every great once in awhile...

John is right, however. Nothing will get an arguement going hot and heavy like politics and/or religion.....except, maybe,deregulation!
