Dear mellors,
Phew!! For the record, I voted 'Yes" in favour...

and for the community, and these postings, I am new here, just arrived last night,
whoa....
kindness and respect for each other, vs.
blame, shame, (admittingly I do not have the background that many of you may already have)...it is jmy first impression....

perhaps we are a little hyper sensitive and in need of validation this time of year???

well anyway, mellors, in my experience, it is more difficult for guys to feel comfortable communicating and owning their feelings. What ever it takes to help this process I am in favour-- as we are all in need of empathy, validation and encouragement.

to grow as a peaceful world community.

as an aside, a sense of humour is strongly encouraged, it can be edgy,
perhaps your signature is setting you up for flailing, random hostitlity.... we are all a bit testy this time of year...
I care if you give a damn. thank you.
