In truth, the truth is just opinion. Your opinion may be YOUR truth, but it still really YOUR opinion.

This world is getting enough of people who think their opinion is THE TRUTH........

Used to be, once upon a time, when people, face to face, would use diplomacy and good manners to get their point across, but nowadays even face to face discourse rarely gets above grade-school 'yeah? Whatever!' (see Bill O'Reilly for details), and as for civility on a forum, forget about it.

It's time that each and every one of us read our posts out loud as if addressed to our significant other (or mother!), and then ask ourselves would we be upsetting the other person to say this out loud.

If there is a moments doubt about it, time to edit that post (BEFORE you send it!). Letters (and forum postings are just a 21st century equivalent) should be MORE civil than face to face conversation, not less........

Even a criticism can be phrased to take the sting out of it. If you can't be bothered to do this, what does this say about you (and your almighty opinion, not 'truth').....?
