Bully pulpits

I remember taking an elective in college on eastern thought. One of the topics was thought- reactive vs creative. There is nothing wrong with reacting strongly when called for, but to react strongly to something that many likely laugh at, should be examined. The creative part was about the joy of building upon any conversation to see where it goes. We all have the skill to add to the discussion. It was a good class, thank for bringing up the memory. As for your topic, I get a few good laughs from this site, I wouldn't change anything- but the ignore button that facebook has would be nice at times.

Simply IGNORE any poster who doesn't play nice.

It's just an internet forum.

I dunno - I see a little of that, to be sure, but not a whole lot. I guess I'm not looking at the right threads! I think it's all really important, but just on more appropriate websites.
