Default Strong feelings are no excuse for foul-mouthed abuse

Every person, male or female, confused or not, young or old deserves a fair deal when they are abused. Sadly in an imperfect world this is often not the case. Bigotry and hatred are constant bed-fellows, and only the inadequate and cowards see people who are ' different ' as freaks and worthy only of ridicule and contempt. By the same token, not all of us feel the need to evangelise or bear witness to show our support for fellow human beings who are ' different ', and we should not fall into the trap of assuming that if another person is unwilling to adopt the same posture as oneself on an important-to-them issue that they are necessarily against them.

Where is the dignity in spewing verbal abuse at another forum member ? In recent months it seems that all too often individuals with a short fuse indulge themselves far too much in this respect. Dialogue by all means, differences of opinions by all means, but enquire further on another's precise meaning before flying off the handle, please.

Look to the sharing.

We all seek love, try some.
