I have been looking at the threads lately, and I would like to know what is going on? Attacks in Review section, Attacks on views, Old grudges being brought back, etc. I have been guilty of this as much as many others.
Everyone, we need to step back and look at ourselves. Does behavior this make us better people? Does berating and belittling others make us feel better about ourselves? We are all people here. Showing empathy towards each other seems to be getting lost here somewhere. We are a community that suffers many setbacks and hardships, and yet we bash on each other. So this make things easier for us? Does it make things better for us? When I speak of ?us? I mean everyone. Guys and Girls.
There are many boards that have very tolerance for behavior I have witnessed here many times. I mentioned tgirlforums on another board and got banned. But people, banning is not the answer. Learning to co-exist is. People have different views. Feel free to argue and discuss these views. That is the beauty of freedom of speech. Understand, that some views people may find offensive. People are all different. That is what makes a person special. That is also the reason empathy is important. Put yourself in the other persons shoes.
In ending my rant I quote Alan Alda:
Begin challenging your own assumptions. Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in awhile, or the light won?t come in.
