I think Vicki's "living room" is a model for all of us.

My more recent conversation...Interesting exchange. My more recent conversation with those who don't think guns should be controlled (that Amendment kept coming up) ended with my feeling that I would never change their minds, and they didn't feel having gun availability, nor whatever kinds they might be, nor that the NRA had anything to do with all the killings. That was after the Nevada debacle. I have posted a lot of my anger on FB, which does seem a venue to let off steam. This time nobody has talked back. Maybe they have unfriended me! I don't think a living room discussion would have as much passion being vented. I'm very angry at Republicans at this point. There are too many innocent people being murdered to talk nice any more. Just my 2 cents worth.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-84114524497213632262017-11-08T08:16:52.211-05:002017-11-08T08:16:52.211-05:00Thank you for this.

It's way too easy to be snarky on FB (especially for me where snarkiness is kinda a default mode.)Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-39618543041360304392017-11-08T07:35:15.043-05:002017-11-08T07:35:15.043-05:00I, too, was called ignorant recently on a FB post ...I, too, was called ignorant recently on a FB post of mine. The post was that I was far more likely to die at the hands of a white, Christian man in the US than at the hands of a Muslim. Friends came back with nicely laid out facts and figures presented politely, as did I, but this particular commentator just doubled down. It is so easy to spill vitriol on the internet - something about that inability to see the other person - and it's also so easy to go with the knee-jerk comeback. <br /><br />Someone described a Facebook page, blog site, twitter account, etc. as one's virtual living room, that is, the room into which your guests are welcomed and conversation happens. Therefore, if you would not allow behavior in your living room, why would you allow it in your virtual living room? And, as well, how would you behave in someone else's living room? I'm finding that works well as a guideline.KarenBnoreply@blogger.com
