I'd like to see more people able to discern between personal insult and kidding.
I'd like to see more people willing to accept that some things they say are hurtful to others, and to care enough not to say them just to be contrary.
I'd like to see more effort made to make people feel good about themselves than to feel badly about themselves.
I'd like to see less time and effort put into finding ways to circumvent certain sections of TOS and more effort expended in being creative for the sake of creativity instead of negativity.
I'd like to see less arguing over irrelevant issues that do nothing more than degenerate into pissing contests over meaningless drivel.
I'd like to see more effort to learn than to prove one already knows all there is to know. The latter always fails miserably.
I'd like to see less insulting over the small stuff and more complementing over the good stuff.
I'd like to see fewer personal disagreements brought to these boards. These could be better discussed in a less public forum, like IMs or U2Us.
I'd like to see more friendships formed, more common ground discovered, and more tolerance to the differences inate to individuals than constant put-downs of those who don't agree with one's stance on a subject.
Those are the things I'd like to see. I'm not holding my breath, mind you, but.....well, it would be sorta nice; at least, it would be nice once in awhile. We have a lot to offer as a group. There are many differing opinions and interesting thoughts amongst this group. I, for one, believe those can be showcased without the necessity of turning so many threads into personal battles between two, or a few.
