I just had a thought...

[higgs2]

Maybe this forum is the one where we'll treat each other like we would in rl. I mean, when we disagree, we won't flame, we'll be interested and curious about the other point of view. We'll ask questions, clarify, and then answer questions too if there are any. THe goal is not to all thing alike, according to some "SofF", but to get to know each other, where we're similar, where we disagree.

I would never go out with a Baptist and Catholic friend and spend the evening berating them about communion and baptism!!! But it would be a potentially awesome conversation to talk about those things in a friendly manner.

ANd we'll become friends. We won't agree on a lot of different things, but we'll understand the others' viewpoints just a little better. Our lives will be enriched by our association with each other.

I'm excited about this fourm.

Please tell me this isn't going to be another pat on the back fest like most forums like this turn into.

I think we can disagree, but not be mean to each other. If not being nasty is a pat on the back fest, then yes, I hope it will be.



Perhaps I should simply close this thread.

Please don't.
I think the comment was a warning, rather than an accusation..at least that's how I read it.

 

[higgs2]

Bows.

Thanks for that, you are a dear.

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,
They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.
To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket
weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're
coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

Interesting way you worked in a reference to CC without actually mentioning it Higgs well done.

As for what Cola said you know him well enough to know it wasn't an accusation.
