Really, isn't there enough conflict on these networks already? I don't mind watching the flames flying over the political newsgroups or the ones where objective facts are at issue, but conflict is really out of place in this group. It bothers me. We are all expressing how we *feel* about being single (or not single) and the problems that go with it. Some constructive comments may be in order, but not personal abuse. Before you flame at a message, consider that it represents the feelings of a real, flesh & blood person who is now vulnerable for having opened up to you in a public forum. Imagine how you would feel if the scathing comments were directed at *you* in front of your peers. Try a little tolerence, and just a bit of personal restraint.
