I haven't been around as much lately, you know, that whole life getting in the way thing. I did see @Denton got the ban hammer for 2 weeks (jealous I didn't get to do it). So it seems, as @Slippy would say "The world has done gone crazy".
Even though I haven't been around as much I do check in from time to time. What I have noticed is a lot of tension. Not only between people who have just joined and most likely came here to sow division but also between members that have known each other (virtually) for a long time.
I guess this message is to remind everyone "they" want us divided and are pulling strings for us to be that way. I watched a doc called The Social Dilemma where past silicon valley people lay out how it is being done. And it is being done without you even knowing.
Basically what I'm getting at is these are troubling times and even though we might not agree with each other we should have those discussions in a civil and respectful manner. This goes beyond PF, I'm talking about in your personal life as well. A lot of time our initial thought is to be disrespectful to someone who is being disrespectful to you. But remember they are trying to antagonize you. They want you to "snap" and attack them back. Be smart when engaging others and be aware.
We have some trying times ahead of us and keeping our wits and using our brains will get us much farther than simply lashing out or fighting on their terms.
May god be with all of us!
