[Rhodes22-list] Open letter to the guys at the bar

[Dana]

I haven't quite made it belly-up to the bar yet; I'm the one still off balance over by the door.
I think I like Elle.

I can't necessarily disagree w/some of the comments re: the tone of the
list.

The tone of some political posts can be downright bullying.....and the
name-calling....and that is discomforting, even if the topic and the discussion
may be worthy of a read.....it's a huge turnoff for me personally, and
obviously for newbies. Bullies are turnoffs. 

Please reread your posts tone it down before hitting send.  Your points are
better made with fluency and reasoning, not force.

You guys are a unique bunch with a huge spectrum of occupations &
educational backgrounds, giving unique perspectives to the politics swirling
around us.

The discussions do bring out points that I find interesting ...and often you
guys find stuff that is not in the news....but  no one is going to change
anyone else's minds about the candidates. But these are not discussions any
more...they  are diatribes & anyone who does not agree is a
&%$#(*&^)#.

So let's stop the bullying, namecalling, and label the posts as political
to be deleted at will.. ...and maybe we can get some fresh insights and new
buds to hoist one with.

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.
