I have been very saddened by the recent increase in
unpleasant emails on this list. In the past, I've
always been very impressed with the overall quality of
the postings and the right-speech that is usually
evident here. But the last few weeks have been filled
with bickering, posturing, sarcasm, snideness, and
worse. This has been especially sad since I've
noticed a number of new members have joined recently,
and they must be wondering whether they made a
mistake.
Every utterance that we make should be examined for;
is this helpful, is it hurtful, am I just inflating my
own ego with this, is it appropriate, is it the right
time?
May we all consider what we say. And may you all be
well.
