Good morning, Poet, I just read about last night. I looked and this person seems to be gone as of this morning-- At least his profile is deleted- which I assume means gone. There are lines that should not be crossed here, just as there are in the real world. Lately, it seems that they are being crossed with great frequency, and in nastier ways, and that people feel not only justified in doing this, but to wear it as if it were a badge of honor. The safety and anonymity of the computer screen is similar to the "permission" a car gives meek little people to drive aggressively and rudely. The disturbing thing is that it means our claims to have become more advanced, more civilized, more caring, are self-delusions. We are still one step away from primitives and we probably need to remind ourselves of this daily..
