I mostly lurk here and it seems that it's only the past month or two that
things have gotten really nasty.

And we haven't had a political flame war for well over a year? DKat, give
it another month, as the north starts warming up, we'll all be outside
getting our gardens going. Last night I dreamed I heard a Pacific Tree
Frog. Since it got down to 24F I don't think they're awake yet.

Doubtless the culprits will flame me for even this message.
However, those of us who want to carry on civil
converations still can. We just need to ignore those who think wrecking such
a lovely, supportive community is fun. Jacqui

That's right, and not lower ourselves if we're compiled to answer them
back. Just keep it civil. If you read something and it gets you upset,
heart pounding, etc. don't reply till you've calmed down. Anger is simply,
hurt, frustration, or fear. One RPer has all 3 going on apparently,
hopefully he'll get over it and give advice without the bite someday.
