I appreciate the sentiment behind your thread. The general tone here of late has been pretty negative and it's nice to see efforts to make it just a little better. I think ultimately we are all on the same carnival ride and we'd all be a lot better off if we looked for ways to work together rather than highlight our differences. We all carry the bruises life has dealt us, and when poked they tend to sting. I am going to try to remember that, and grant everyone just a little more leeway whenever I can.
