It's Only Dark When Your Eyes Are Closed

To solve this problem that ATS seems to be facing, I ask each and everyone of you to think before you type. Do I have anything to contribute to this thread? Do I agree or disagree with this person? Am I really trying to learn something ? Am I trying to educate? Now carefully formulate your response in a polite manner

Very, very well said. You surgically took the words right out of my mouth.

with the current atmosphere and tragedy, I hope this can serve as a reminder to remember to be polite in our discussions even when we don't agree. I'm sure anyone of us would have offered a hand if we knew what weise was thinking, but didn't and we will never really know what anyone is thinking, so just remember that the next time you post in response to someone.
