“Civility runs two ways.”
It certainly does. But, in all honesty, dare to go to the beginning of comments on the board re-read the discussion noting Freepers that begin the mockery?
All of us fall short by making rude comments. Others seem to definitely make a career out of it!
[Maybe, a helpful hint for all of us is to pretend we are responding to our mom, dad, wife or husband when posting comment.]
It runs both ways. To end it, quit posting or take some time out. Otherwise whining does no good.
Controversial subjects are just what they are.
