Re: [RC] opinions - Lynne Glazer

Yes, Heidi, and the answer to THAT is to use the <delete> key when there's someone whose opinion is consistently delivered in such a format.

And to unsubscribe from lists that permit that type of behavior. I feel the same way about lists where gossip is encouraged, and have quit those too.

Like Melissa said so well, not willing to allow that sort of negative energy in. It's your choice how you spend the time you are given, whether on positive pursuits or not.

Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.

If those were the only options, I would agree. Unfortunately, you could add
"negative," "derogatory," "mean," and a whole lot of other unpleasant
descriptors to that list, and I, personally, choose not to let that kind of
energy into my life.


I'd say you just described this and most every other list out there!!!!
