There is no way to keep people from voicing their opinions, experiences and knowledge--good or bad.
I agree that people need to back off on some on some the threads, but unfortunately, written responses will never convey how the post should sound. My part in keeping out of the drama is to not post on controversial threads. There have been many people who have done the same.
Unfortunately, fortunately, everyone has an opinion, what people choose to get out of a post is totally up to them. The only thing that we can do as a community is to not add to the fire by continuing to post on threads that get so heated. It doesn't do any good for anyone. That's my way of dealing with threads of this nature. |

I normally don't respond either. I think this is my way of putting it out there after watching for awhile. I'm hoping that this year is a little different because someone put it out there. Just hope people think about it a little more. I mean is 2010 a nice round number? Sounds like a new start. (I have no idea what people mean when they say, round number.)
