Finally! The voice of reason! Thank you, Paul, for saying what many of us
are thinking!
Some additional comments, though:
If someone gets their feelings hurt on lugnet, why must they subject ALL of
us to their anger? I know when <I> read Lugnet posts, I see an email
address for the author, and if I have a problem with them, I can take it up
with them privately.
I too have children, but even if I didn't, I still wouldn't want to read
ninety-four posts (which arrive in my email) about some sensational
conflict-monger with serious communication problems.
Most of us here understand what it is to make something from nothing and
submit it for public appraisal. It can be scary. This is not a public
forum exactly; It is a creator's forum, and most of us respect it. We
praise good work and offer constructive criticism for not-so-good work.
We're here to appreciate and help each other, not take out our frustrations
on each other.
I know that I am not alone in that I have never "flamed" anyone on lugnet
(or elsewhere, for that matter). Conflict is easy. HARMONY is hard. It
takes work sometimes, but it's worth it. I wish more people would try it.
Disgusted with some, proud of others,
Dirtman
