<DIV>Well, you guys decide. I don't care what financial limit you put on it, f any. But, I think it would be a good exercise to get people to start being more civil to each other on the V. I figure if Hansen agrees to not post on the V for one month if he blasts another poster before me, while creating the equal consequence for myself, that this would at that very least make us think a little bit more carefully before posting--and like wise keep it in the forefront of the others minds when they post.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am still waiting for a response from Hansen. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And to Mr. Ivie, my chosen local Moscow charity would be the Moscow Public Library.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Best,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Donovan<BR><BR><B><I>Glenn Schwaller <vpschwaller@gmail.com></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Gee I dunno . . .
maybe it's just to radical for even this group, but I can't imagine ANYone would think it's a bad idea to refrain from posting insulting, demeaning, namecalling and character assassination that tries, but fails miserably, to pass for witty repartee.
