You sure that's what Buck means? I wouldn't be in favor of legislating it, but IMHO FFL would be a better, more enjoyable place, and its discussions more interesting and productive, if we all would refrain from personal attacks against each other, if we could express our disagreements without being disagreeable, in Obama's phrase. Wouldn't hurt if we all made an effort to be as truthful as we possibly can, either. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Buck" <dhamiltony2k5@> wrote: > > > > > > You know, the TM Hymn on Negativity > > > I should think it would make a nice unified code of conduct > > > as an inclusive guideline for posting on FairfieldLife. > > > Particularly for posting negativity here on FFL. > > > > We'll miss you. :-) > > > > Seriously, dude, what would you call all your endless > > posts denouncing Bevan and the Rajas? > > > > "Negative" is a RELATIVE concept, not an absolute > > one.
