Civility 101

I know I am new to this forum, and I really enjoy reading posts from others that are interested in Indy. That is the one thing that we all have in common. Sometimes I read all the current posts, and sometimes I just read those that might interest me. It really depends on how much time I have to sit in front of my monitor. I come here for one thing, and that is to see what is happening in the minds of those who have the same interest as me. Most of the time it is a very informative and interesting experience, but there are those times when it becomes a microcosm of society, and something I would rather not have enter into my conciousness. Verbal projectiles are thrown all too easily sometimes, with no thought given to the consequences. One thing is certain. If I ever offend anyone it will be completely unintentional. And if someone is overtly rude or sarcastic to me-so what? In the grand scheme of things it is as unimportant as a wart on some Russian's posterior! The energy that you waste on such things can be used much more contructively elsewhere, and negetive emotions are such a drag. Not very exciting I know, but it makes existence much more pleasant, and this forum much more satisfying. Steve
