Shari,
In a way I agree with you. Yep, take a sec and think about what you are typing and how it is going to be perceived. You don't get the benefit of facial expression, vocal timber and tone with the written word. So, if you're writing in such a way that it falls in acceptable debate and discussion have at it. Doesn't matter if anybody agress with your point of view or not if it is presented without personal attacks and the like.
I just think some of the responsibility needs to be put on the reader as well. It's ok to be passionate, get angry etc. so lng as your actions still fall into accepted levels of decorum.
I guess I just don't want to see things around here fall into the "PC", spoon fed mush, oh my god I may have inadvertantly offended someone garbage we see everhere else in our lives. If it ticks you off respond, or not. Just if you do stick to the point and subject matter and take NO personal shots at people that may disagree with you.
OK, now that I re-read your post I guess I do agree with you.
Well said. Now I'll just shut up.
