I don't know who refreshed this, but I appreciate it. It's not pleasant reading at times, and the most unpleasant things are between the lines. I've only been in here a couple of years now, and I've seen Mudcat have its ups and downs. Until recently, I didn't see it centered so much around one person. Not that I think the problem is one person. In my mind, anyone who accepts the actions of a person who is intentionally trying to offend, and hurt someone else is part of the problem. If nothing else, I hope that recent discussions have caused us all to re-examine how we conduct ourselves in here. I say "us all" because there have been two occasions when I got fed up with someone in here (in both cases, people I consider friends) and resorted to the easiest form of humor... sarcasm. I wasn't obscene, but I went for the easy cheap shot and felt badly about it afterward. In both instances, I PMd the person and appoligized (how in the world do you spell apologized?) Hopefully those incidents are left behind.

There are some in here who seem to think civility is a four letter word. Thank God (or whoever you prefer thanking) there are only a small handful.

Onward
