The Internet’s Got Me Down
There’s been lots of negativity lately in the Internet places I hang out lately, which is puzzling. The places I hang out tend to be really positive, supportive, productive places.
Here’s my plea to you, friend and reader - do your best. Read charitably and with respect. Consciously raise the level of discourse. Neutralize anger and divisiveness with enthusiasm, humor, and friendliness. Ask yourself if your participation will actively help you or someone else. If you can’t answer that affirmatively, take a break. Maybe go play a game or something - I hear that can be fun!

Yeah. I tried my best and ended up failing, and I know it says a lot about me, but it says a lot about the internet, too.

I was glad you started a roaringly positive thread, though. That was refreshing.
