West Texas | Hi Don
Yeah, it can get pretty hairy down in the boiler room. Hope you washed your hands afterwards. :-D
I've always held to the philosophy of treating people with respect, whether in real life or on the internet. Sadly, respect can be hard to come by when you no longer have to fear a punch in the nose for spouting your opinion, no matter how hateful. It has been eye-opening to see the bile and venom and intolerance displayed by folks I would have otherwise thought well of. I would certainly think twice before meeting them or doing business with them.
But on the other hand, there are more than a few gems out there. Far more gems than lumps of coal, I would like to think. :-) There are certainly some folks here in NAT that I would like to meet, as they've displayed maturity and intelligence and tolerance that is hard to fake. You may consider yourself to be one of them, Pokey ... I'd sure like to pick your brains sometime. :-) | |
