"to be alive becomes the fundamental luck each ordinary, compromising day manages to bury"
At certain moments, always unforseen, I become happy... I look at the strangers near as if I had known them all my life... everything fills me with affection... It may be an hour before the mood passes, but lately I seem to understand that I enter upon it the moment I cease to hate.
- William Butler Yeats
moderation is arbitrary and capricious- as it is on all moderated threads
only on this one
I say it up front :-)
so you know
Freedom of association- it's important. It gives us the right to associate with folks we find congenial. That's a good thing. If you come here and trash others, I will consider you uncongenial. Trashing other posters (no matter how obnoxious you consider the other posters) just makes you look like you have nothing better to do, and that would be sad, and while I would feel compassion for you, I wouldn't want to hang out with you do if you do that. So when you post here, post about ideas, or public figures, books, movies, wine, food- and don't be nasty, because nasty looks so...nasty. |
