Thanks Mike. I hadn't realized there was much acrimony in the conversations; possibly as I only read the threads that personally interest me. Possibly too that in comparison to social media, when intolerance does crop up it seems relatively minor (hooray us😄). I agree with whoever originated the words that in our own communication we should strive for clarity and precision when we speak, but for generosity when we listen.
