You have my support to discuss anything you like, other than what happens in Sopranos season 6....

Hey- I wasn't being Pollyanna. I was being honest. I don't respond to posts that feel aggressive or more interested in conflict than in an exchange of ideas. And sometimes it's just something that has been argued so much that I have nothing particularly new or brilliant to add. I see nothing wrong at all with having manners on the Net. In fact, the absence of them is what always sort of surprises and even alarms me, that people can so easily shed civility and self-control, and say the most awful things to each other. My conduct doesn't change with the medium in which I am existing at any given moment. I am too old, or I was brought up too well. Sure I screw up- don't we all- but mostly I am just me. If that's Pollyanna-ish, so be it. You won't be the first to say it, although I think the last appellation was Little Mary Sunshine.
