In life, I tend to classify others. Unfortunately, the more heated things become, the harder it is to see past the categorizing. Whjen I get to that point, I end up not really listening to the other's point of view.

In this forum, I have gotten a glimpse of what some of you are about and because of the moderation, things haven't devolved and I find it easier to listen to anothers point of view, even if I don't agree. In fact, I may have gone off and never returned, but I've stayed because I see real value in rational discussion. You know what - I learned a bunch from you lot, and not just about kilts.

Thank you to the moderators and to all X Markers.
