    Being Nice

    There is, and probably always has been, a movement in this world to say whatever comes into your mind with no filter.

    #1) Here is a good rule of thumb: don't say something to someone that you wouldn't say to his/her face if it were just the two of you together in a room.

    Whenever you say hateful things to others, the other person will respond in like manner, and then back and forth and repeat. At some point, someone should be the bigger person and just back off and let the insults lie where they may.

    This is not our forum. We are only visitors in someone else's creation and we should abide by the rules of civility.

    Good thread, Perianne.

    I have a couple of rules for any feller who wants to court me:

    (1) No farting in my presence.

    (2) No bad words in my presence.

    Both are abrasive to my senses.

    Tend to chalk most of the incivility up to the anonymity element of online political forums. Genuinely doubt that similar rudeness is conveyed during social interaction out in the real world.

    Being here in the stealth space of the interwebs allows our darker subconscious mean-girl hostilities to surface.

    I would rather be honest than nice.

    You can be both at the same time.

    Most of the time, not all of the time. If it comes down to having to choose between the two, I will go with honesty.

    I wish we conservatives would give Leanne, Trish, and other liberals a break. Yeah, their viewpoints are anathema to us, but our viewpoints are anathema to them.

    Actually, Leanne is one of my favorite posters. She posts her feelings and thoughts, then someone attacks her, she fights back, etc. etc. etc. I also suspect she is a young girl, finding her way in the world. What she is learning is that conservatives are mean, hateful, and will use names and bad words against her.

    Consider this: I am 62. If I die, I have more-or-less lived a full life. A young woman still has her whole life to live. Perhaps she wants to go to college (like I did in my late 20s), get married, have children, have a career, etc. This is a wonderful time to be alive, especially for a woman. The fear of COVID is likely more intense to someone who is just starting out in life, as opposed to us old farts. I have no fear of death, but it took me 60 years to get to this point.

    Maybe we can discuss without being rude and I hope she (and her lefty friends) can do the same.

    Really, I feel bad when they are attacked. There are so many attackers against such few lefties.

    (Now, there are some who post with the intention to irritate. We know who they are. So this doesn't apply to them.)
