One of the nice things about a closed versus an open forum is that I don’t have to put up with the childish idiocy that permeates the Internet. Keyboard commandos find places where their cyber bullying will get maximum exposure. This isn’t one of those places.

I have invited people I know, those with whom I have common interests, to share opinions and ideas. Even opposing viewpoints can be treated with courtesy and respect.

Talk about anything you like, just treat everyone else with common decency.
