Okay, just a few observations....

Good to see lively chatter but I think we can

all manage to disagree in a more kindly manner, yes?

Try skipping the urges to add little digs or insulting

comments. Need an example? :::sees some nodding heads:::

Okay, say you are annoyed because a lad makes some

comment about heavy metal not being a normal type of

vegetarian listening music. Try pointing out to him that

there is no such thing as " normal " vegetarian music lists

and that we all listen to a variety of musical genres WITHOUT

calling him a " widdle boy " or telling him to " grow up " .

Those would be " digs " or insults aka flame-starters.

 

Remember we are all at different places in our life as

far as knowledge and maturity levels. Taking the time

to gently explain a difference of opinion is prefered and,

believe it or not, actually gets the message across better.

Thanks.
