This one relates to how people communicate with each other.
Larry linked us to a great topic/point, that was wonderful in itself but the mentality of the conversation there is what struck me the most..............as an example of why people don't get along and are in the closed minded business of defending everything that they think they know instead of having an open mind and learning what they don't know they don't know!

Thanks, Mike. I can’t see the comments you referred to because I’m not registered on X.
I didn't realize that, Larry and am not sure how that works but I won't copy them here. At least yesterday, there were dozens of them using name calling, foul language, hate and displays of ignorance on the topic to defend a position they want to believe in........on both sides.
I'm registered on X, mainly to post positive messages from MarketForum or to speak out about bad things but have never actually had 1 conversation with anybody there. I don't even check to see if anybody commented on my posts. I'm not doing it for a discussion. I'm making posts to inform/educate......about weather, chess and other things.
I will rarely scroll thru some great posts that are extremely entertaining and enlightening from others with tremendous enjoyment. But realize that I already spend hours/day here.
No doubt there are many good people and there are many great benefits on X.
However, when it comes to divisive politics, especially this topic it can bring out the worst in people.
