There are some people who think that because they have been here longer that they are somehow more worthy than the newcomers. And there are some who are wonderful.
There are some people who cannot tolerate it if you don't agree with their viewpoint. They get extremely nasty. I don't understand why they do that. |

Diversity is what makes life interesting, but I would agree with much of what pkh has to say. I only recently reactivated after becoming discouraged by the intolerance and personal attacks in many of the forums. I'm no shrinking violet, and can state my opinion with facts and diplomacy, but when you see a member who had the nerve to post an opposing thought being sliced and diced it's very discouraging. I'm all for open discussions and lively debate, otherwise I wouldn't be in politics; but to accomplish that it takes a level of maturity and a willingness to respect the other persons right to...well, be wrong!!

Well as someone that has been hanging around the net for over 20 years I can this. People are not to much different on here than they are on real life. I have been to many sites such as this and other than the fine outstanding people on this site, they are all basicly the same. I have met many people face to face from the internet and they are exactly the same as they were in a chat room.

As much as I appreciate the pleas for people to behave, I have stopped doing this myself.
I've seen the argumentative, uncompromising, not knowing how to agree to disagree......the woe is me sympathy ploys, the absolute mindless "I'm boreds" or "what's up people", etc., etc. before. I'm breaking my own rule right now (yes because I want my opinion heard), but at a previous site it occurred to me: "once you (I) turn INWARD...it's OVER." What a fantastic vehicle to connect with so many people in a (loosely) conversational setting. What an opportunity for the sharing of ideas. If I keep my mind open, I can gain insight into other perspectives about life and living in other parts of the world. So why would I want perspective about JSH itself. As wonderful a tool as it is, IT'S JUST THE CATALYST. Could you imagine driving around the Grand Canyon talking only about the Ford? How much time in any class that you take, do you want to spend on the dynamics of the classroom? Could you imagine flying to some exotic location saying that the vacation is going to suck because you don't like the fuselage. It's just a vehicle! Let the "babies" say. "I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I have to use the bathroom, *** he's not staying on his side****........Don't play the game! Just give em a bit of attention, say "yes dear" and enjoy the trip. It doesn't have to be about the meaning of life. 99 bottles of beer on the wall is terrific. Just remember we're trying to go somewhere. All the petty stuff should've been taken care of in the driveway or on the tarmack. My .02 Sorry about the soapbox |
