This day was always going to be about one thing: The Election Results. I want to allow civil discussion on here, but if it gets out of hand I’m not deleting comments and instead will just close comments for the day.
I understand that this is a very important topic for some on here. It’s not for me as I am politically sterile for lack of a better phrase–I just don’t give a shit because I see ugliness across this nation and I abhor it and I abstain from being dragged into it by either side. That’s my personal choice in it all. As such, I don’t want to see anyone here embroiled with others over things that, you know, outside of your individual “vote,” none of us are really in control of these things and none of us here are each others’ enemies.
All I ask is that each person conduct themselves with dignity and treat others with a dignity that shows we all understand that we’re ultimately all on the same team here. This is a place that I ultimately want to exist as a place that transcends the cultural norms of “political discourse”–A fun and enjoyable place where relationships matter more than lining us all up into one accord on deeply personal matters such as socio-political or religious beliefs etc.
Having said all that, please find exit ramps when it is obvious exit ramps need to be found and taken. If others encourage you to be better, take heed and cool down a bit. I will be checking in periodically. I am unable to monitor every comment as it’s posted on here.
I would hate to have to close the comments, but it’s the only potential solution as I am not going to judge each comment and figure out which ones stay and which ones get deleted. I know that it’s punishing the group for the flaws of a few, but I am not here to pick sides or play favorites.
