Tolerance

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.

Over
the years we've proven (over and over again) that we will never all agree
on
several subjects, including use of chemicals, management of pests, and the
ethics of peat moss.
That doesn't mean we can't disagree with each other, but I think we should
do it politely and respectfully, and without making personal judgments
about
each other. We're all being stressed to varying degrees by the pandemic,
and
so we all need to cut each other some slack.
