...to xta as she is not trying to cause more problems, which is what singling anyone out would do. And I don't believe she is thinking of one person in particular, but the atmosphere in general. I understood her to be saying that we should all really try to respond to people more respectfully. Then our goal of helping our green friends will be reached.
It is s-o-o easy to lose perspective and jump the gun when we hear the same ignorant things. I am just as guilty as anyone for that!!! I lit into a newbie once, albeit unintentionally...and had my face torn off pretty darned quickly for it. I did not defend myself...I was rude and I felt very badly about it. That caused me to pay careful attention when wording things to a newbie.
****If everyone would hold it as their first priority to provide respect as our foremost responsibility here**** .... we would be more successful as a forum, and maybe we would once again feel like a big happy family.
And who knows.... maybe we really *would* hear from our old dear friends more often... :o(
