Thread: Everyone here needs to calm down, respect each other, and come together.

W is right--we have to keep fighting the elites and never give up! We are patriots fighting tyranny. Think of our founding fathers--would they quit?! Would they put up with this usurpation of our Constitution? Remember Ben Franklin's words, "We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

What is RESPECT

1. Honoring each other as valuable.
   
2. Treating others with dignity.
3. Communicating to include, not exclude or control.
4. To be heard by another (seeking to understand) and to respond with courtesy and curiousity.
5. Acknowledging thoughts and feelings; not discounting, blaming or forcing to comply, but to be received as real.
6. Asking; not ordering, yelling at or swearing.
7. Providing clear and informative answers to questions that are legitimately your business.
8. Knowing the right to receive encouragement and support (rapport is caring, “report only” is no relationship).
   
9. Speaking of others positively.
10. Seeking to connect and build communication for both parties, as opposed to positioning for control.

Working together often means that we have to agree to disagree. After all, if there is only one view, then there is no discussion which negates any forum and exchange of ideas....Everyone then ends up kissing up and agreeing to anything anyone posts....JMHO...

Glad to see W's comment expressed so clear and concise.

It's been needed for a long time.

Very well stated W.

'Respect' is a word I grew up hearing over and over, seems I don't hear it much anymore, sad to say.

Also one needs to know when it is best to just get away from the computer for awhile if things get to be too much.

Good comments here, thank you everyone!

I'm glad to see W chime in. He is the source of reason in all of this mess. But I believe that we need to make sure we're not be misled by these politicians and that when someone here does the right thing in exposing them and their lies, that they are not attacked for doing the job no one else wants to do perhaps because they don't want to believe that their preferred politician is being less than truthful to them.

We all have to be careful about what I call "Jumping In Front of Parades" Googler. Sometimes we have to let the parade pass by and then step up to speak to them all when they find themselves at the end of a dead end alley.

You can help this situation by doing your very best to broach sensitive topics with maximum diplomacy and empathy for those that have a different opinion. We need all sides working together to raise the respect bar around here.
