I have read them all, and it really doesn't matter on what side I land. I
am so glad to have opinions and descriptions and intentions. Each of us can
make up our minds, based on intelligence, education, research, and even
Tweeters! However, rudeness, and judgement have no place in this realm.
Are there ground rules here? Certainly I am new to this forum, but I would
like to suggest that questions are always acceptable, judgements are not.
If this forum is to express adventures, opinions, ideas, then it needs to
be a safe place to do just that. We will destroy the intent, if we are not
courteous and open to others. I have appreciated the original intent of the
first two messages, and learned a great deal on both sides. Please, let us
continue to enjoy and enlarge this forum, even if someone expresses an idea
or philosophy about which we do not agree.
