Platitudes? Actually NVC { non violent communication } provides skill sets for civility and civil discourse.
It is very practical as to living well and working well with people. Seems to be something the millennial generation is more attuned to and work at in their lives. Do a You-tube search on Non violent communication and listen to some of the clips from NVC. Is very much a how to. A lot like the yahoo-groups guidelines are conceived. Very thoughtful and practical and applicable. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <olliesed...@yahoo.com> wrote : Methinks MD's intention is to get a reaction counter to the platitudes and promises in the announcement - having us on.
