Ladies and Gentleman!

It appears we have a great many opinions about a great many topics with, what I would say is usual, sharp disagreements about what is said. I do not expect, or even want, everyone to agree with everyone else but I do believe we should avoid this "name calling" that seems to be appearing more and more in these posts. By all means disagree with someone if you want, but please try to avoid attacking the individual or what you think they may have mean (but did not say). If nudists cannot get along with each other, why would we expect a non nudist go get along with us? /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif

I agree, Frank. Some people can't seem to disagree with someone else without attacking them and calling them some derogatory name. I've had friendly disagreements, or discussions if you want, with others without name calling. When it gets too disagreeable, I just give up rather than getting upset enough to get angry.

No one can force their opinion on others who don't agree, but some people try anyway. Some people even prefer the anger and name calling, because for them it makes it more interesting. I don't expect everyone to agree with me although it would be nice if they did, but I certainly don't attack them or want to be attacked because we disagree. Without disagreement there would be no need for debates or discussions.
