I Wish Women Were Ladies and Men Were Gentlemen

My policy has always been that if you can't talk/debate with me without insulting me, you're blocked. I intend to stick to that.

I’m sorry. Sometimes I do get kinda crass. This makes me stop and think. 🙁

I am glad somebody said this. And so elegantly too. Even without this pandemic, we are all suffering. Life is full of struggles. How are namecalling and dehumanizing other people going to fix anything? I like a good debate when people start getting emotionally abusive it really bugs bothers me. It's like the time when my mother wanted to do something special for their 25th anniversary, and my father kept insisting it was their 24th. Yeah, cause agreeing on the exact number of years you have been married is more important than the emotional wellbeing of your child! Do you want to be right or do you want to be happy?

Amen. Why is being civil difficult? Why, even at my worst, I adhere to tongue-in-cheek wit (or try my damndest). Good post!

If only your wish was granted! :(

Amen sister.

I took a 7 month hiatus from here once because I was so tired of the incivility. I think it's gotten a little better since then... but still happens for sure.

I wish you luck in this effort, good post.

I apologise for being a bit wild

Dressed up to go to the grocery store.

Sounds very fair to me.
