Saphira, I have been here for years and I continue to be saddened by the nonsense threads that continue to appear. However, I always find inspiring words and people that I admire.

Im actually amazed at how civilized this forum is as compared to other forums in general. I dont really see hostility here, but rather constructive debate sometimes. I belong to a sports discussion forum...now that place has real hostility haha.
Grateful to be free

Yes, this forum is VERY civil compared to most I belong to, and considering the importance of the subject matter...pretty impressive I think!
Many times when I feel my hackles rise over a post, I realize that I am not really "listening" to what the poster is saying, often I am just hearing MY response to what I think they might be saying, or what I fear they might be saying. Many times, when I go back and reread a post, it isn't really saying what I let myself get upset over. I learn alot about myself by seeing what I react to, what am I afraid of.
