Well said. Your post also appears to have opened a conversation that needed to take place.

The issues we discuss here are often intensely emotional.

A little courtesy and self-control can go a long way...

Yes. Also, it helps to count ten when you are emotional. If you are extra hot, back off the keys, stand up, go to another room, take deep breaths; then come back and read what you are posting. I have deleted a LOT of replies off that.

That being said, sometimes one must consider the source and what is going on in their head. One reason I love this place is that it challenges me to improve both my thinking and communication skills. That happened because I have had my sloppy thinking and unclear posts pointed out by others, kindly or not.

I hope it has done some good for me and for the board.
