Thanks, trixie. These are nice thoughts.
It's an interesting phenomenon about message boards, how things turn negative. I think it is because must people don't reply unless they see something they DISagree with. They might read 20 posts they agree with, but not post, and then they see one sentence in a post of three paragraphs, highlight it, and put in their disagreement. The person replied to often feels that someone picked one minor point, completely ignored their main issue, and dismissed them on the spot. Then they either fight or flee.
I think it's normal (seeking stasis) for negativity to enter the equation, and it takes mental effort (work) to overcome the tendency.
So here's to making an effort to infuse the message board with Positivity!
