Okay, Im going to attempt this. Dont know what good it will do, but here are my two cents. I think we are going off the rails here folks. Blocking others due to perceived slights does not benefit our discussions here. It leads to disjointed discussions and diminishes the civil discourse, which I believe is something we are all in favor of holding with one another. I try to remember when someones comment seems a bit off to me that I should take context into account and give them the benefit of the doubt - and when Im in doubt as to the tenor of a comment I try to remember that tone is very hard to convey in this format. If I still find offense, I move on, knowing I can return to converse another day. Rhondas comment, if I recall, was merely to convey information regarding how to format comments with paragraphs. No more, no less. The context of that remark is that she has imparted that information on numerous occasions in the past and was just reminding us how it was done. That was all there was to it. Context is everything. I like this group very much and I really dont like to see all this sniping. Its not helpful and puts out bad juju, especially in a group about bettering human interactions. I propose a deep breath be taken by all and then we can get back to discussing more important matters, like trampoline parties, bridezillas, and the ever present thank you note.
