i'll chime in too
it is very possible to have a discussion w/o naming a person and making personal comments towards them.
there is a difference between "i see it different, and like to 'do it this way' " and "it's people like YOU who ruin everything for everyone!!!"
or even "can you tell me more about why you see it that way?" instead of "anyone who thinks that way is just out to ruin the world!!!"
we assume you are all adults and know the difference. a gentle reminder is given at times and sometimes not.
we KNOW things can be discussed w/o personal comments, and that is our guideline here. i personally love healthy dialogue. how can we ever learn if we don't try to see how another sees things? there is a huge world out there of people all seeing things from a different perspective, it's very exciting to consider that (even if we don't agree or see it that way)
a little thing i love to "try" to remember is: imagine all of us sitting around an object at a table, then describing what we see to each other... (the object could be a cat!!) would we all not see something entirely different based on what where we were sitting? wouldn't we only be able to see the cat from our seat? if we argued about what we saw, would we all not be right and wrong? what could we learn from asking others to explain what we saw? (something i like to ponder)
thank you for all you contribute, each of you!
