about enough.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'd like to propose an immediate moratorium on the topic of anybody's
divorce, ex-spouse, mental or physical disability, or family sorrows and
tragedies. All of us lose when public discourse, particularly in this
electronic form which makes intemperance and hostility so easy and
inconsequential, goes down this road. There are suffering people
attached to the names and stories being bandied about here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Of course, I don't have any power to enforce such a proposal, but I'm
making an earnest plea. I believe that the recent rash of anonymous
postings contributes to a sense that we can say whatever we like about
people--taunt them, vilify them, excoriate them--without any personal
consequence. It's a kind of poison pen letter, but with the extra thrill
of many spectators. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We *can* have conversation here that is both civil and heated, intense
and respectful. But we've got to work at it. And a reasonable
first step, it seems to me, is to sign our names to our posts and to limit our
conversation to matters of public interest.</DIV>
