it is much easier to dismiss someone when they are still anonymous however when you meet face to face you give someone more of yourself and it makes it easier to allow for disagreements without belittling of opinion. We love our friends and family in real life but we don't always agree with them on all things and yet we still love them and most of us are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Bottom line, it is always easier to be nasty or dismissive when we do so anonymously. Sad, but true.
The ideals brought us here to DU but the friendships will allow us to stay and feel inclusive. Something to ponder I guess.
