: Geez, Rich and Elaine leave for a few days and suddenly we're refighting the Civil War. I have the feeling that no one is going to change anyone else's mind at this point, and I for one am tired of looking at the name-calling, etc. In the interest of peace in our community, why don't you all take this fight off the board. You can continue it, if you wish, through emails.
: Thanks.

I must say I agree 100%! I have been posting here for about 2 years and I am quite appalled at the name calling. Some of these words should NOT even be printed! Please settle this through private e-mails, we would like to have our peace restored!
Maybe this inspiration will help you achieve this:
Letting Go
To "Let go" does not mean to stop caring, it means I
can't do it for someone else
To "Let go" is not to cut myself off, it's the realisation
I can't control another.
To "Let go" is not to enable, but to allow learning
from natural consequences.
To "Let go" is to admit powerlessness,which means
the outcome is not in my hands.
To "Let go" is not to try to change or blame another,
it's to make the most of myself.
To "Let go" is not to care for, but to care about.
To "Let go" is not to fix, but to be supportive.
To "Let go" is not to judge, but to allow another to be
a human being.
To "Let go" is not to be in the middle arranging all
outcomes, but to allow others to affect their own
destinies.
To "Let go" is not to be protective, it's to permit
another to face reality.
To "Let go" is not to deny, but to accept.
To "Let go" is not to nag,scold,or argue, but instead to
search out my own shortcomings and correct them.
To "Let go" is not to adjust everything to my desires
but to take each day as it comes, and cherish myself in
it.
To "Let go" is not to regret the past, but to grow and
live for the future.
To "Let go" is to fear less and to love more.
