My personal philosophy about DU

[steve2470]

I don't know, maybe writing this will be good for me or another person out there. At the least, it won't harm anyone. Here goes....

I'm not here to hurt anyone, in any way.

I'm not here to WIN at all costs, to beat my "DU opponent" into the ground with my intellect, logic, data, etc.

Have I made mistakes and said a few inadvisable things on DU ? Of course. I do my best, as we all do.

I'm here to learn. Maybe have a "DU friend". I'm a loner, so, yea, "DU company" is nice at times.

I'm sure everyone disagrees with me on at least one topic, and the reverse is true for me. I think we can be respectful and civil about it. When the respect and civility goes away, there is no way I'm changing my mind, and I'm sure the same is true of others on DU.

At any rate....that's me. Sometimes I feel like I should lurk only, but.... I like to talk.

Happy holidays, group members !
