Good point Mary. Too many of us (and I'm guilty at times too), spout off without putting much thought in what we're saying, and how it will affect those that read it. I too, think that the adults that are guilty of this, forget sometimes that there are children that are members of this forum and visitors as well. What kind of message is this sending to them? Certainly not one of peaceful reasoning. Debates are healthy, but name calling and being ignorant and/or abusive, is not healthy or productive. Do we really want that to be something for the children to emulate?
