They strike me about this place.

We are an "Equal Opportunities" community here. To me that means that all genders, ages, orientations, ethnicities, creeds etc are equally welcome. Because of that I get worried if we repeatedly are seen to be slating any section of our catchment area.

Sometimes someone (any of us) feel the need to make a sharp and witty retort. Can I ask us all, please, to look at our sharp wit and notice that it may be another person's deep offence? And, if we are offended by a sparky reply, not to escalate by a sparky reply?

I will make every attempt to ignore rude, caustic and/or ignorant responces whenever the need arrises.



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Or, perhaps, of a great middle eastern leader who said "let he who is blameless cast the first stone".

We could, of course, have a sparring contest playing some stupid schoolyard game. Or, and this I prefer, we could not.

Or we could take the advice of the previous poster. We could do that easily.
