Yes. Good analysis, PDM. I agree. And that's what I try to do. Sometimes I yield to temptation and let my annoyance or frustration or hurt feelings show in a venting post. But I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my gut when I do. I'm disappointed with myself, and cringe inwardly - knowing that there's going to be words flying back and forth, and the real issues are going to be lost in the midst of insults and retaliations.

By the way, for the record, in the example that you used - a member saying something critical to you, and how might you respond or react, I think you've done a fine job. Very few of us could do as well, in my opinion.
