Dear friends, I have noticed that lately there has been more need for me to step in and address statements in which DB Members or their opinions are attacked.
Being an optimist, I believe that mostly people's intentions are not based on malice. However, please use this amazing tool called the internet by re-reading your post before you post it... preview it and try to look from another's point of view with empathy. Add emoticons to help counteract the lack of non-verbal part of the conversation if desired, which can completely change the tone of the message.
Deeper Blue has managed to remain a safe and friendly place to share ideas, stories and debate despite our international/cultural/linguistic barriers, and I assure you it will stay that way.
Be nice!
Erik
