Thank you. I wholeheartedly agree with your point, and hope that we
can find the courage to remind each other of this more often. Small,
early reminders can go a long way towards avoiding a gradual erosion
of boundaries.

Thanks. I also got reminded about that a few times,
recently. I would love
this to be more reflected upon.

There's a quote popularly attributed to
Eleanor Roosevelt:
"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds
discuss people."[0]
Now, I'm not calling any particular people small minded, nor am I
suggesting we stop talking about issues. What I am suggesting is that we
talk about issues, and not people. The axe grinding and personal
denigrations are being pushed further and further to the limits during this
turmoil, and I humbly ask that it stop, and that moderation is used if
needed to do so. I'll have no sympathy for those who wish to continue to go
after fellow human beings for political gain.
