I now know why I am addicted to the Forum. Each thread reads like a mini novel.

We do a great at starting the threads, then get into a political or belief debate, elevate some ranting, then coming to reality that we all love the lake and the forum.

I think we need a slight alignment or reality check with the use of the written language. We inject adjectives and adverbs to describe tones or feelings about a subject. These ate then interpreted literally as a slam or insult about opposing viewpoints. Even if there are no adjectives or adverbs present some will even "read" them into the posts and respond from their personal perspectives. I really do not think anyone begrudges others fortunes, losses, or taxes.

When it is all said and done someone presents some fantastic statistics and we are all the better for having particpated.
