Just a note to all of the trouble on the boards lately. People leaving..people holding a grudge...people arguing...fighting..people showing disrespect to others..etc.I am far from perfect...so far I forget what the word means..heh. But, it seems so easy for folks to type a hot-headed message, press send, and blast anyone/everyone for this, that, yadda, yadda.
Well...being a Canadian..I would like to show my support for the "Psycho-Babble Peace Keepers". I *strongly* believe in the United Nations concept, and think it would work great here. Work problems through in a *non-violent*, non-aggressive way.
Maybe we can contribute to learning ways of non-violence, and how to solve things in a peaceful way. It has worked for the U.N. in keeping peace (sometimes) in certain parts of the world. I think it can work for us on here.
So, where do we go with this? Well, how about folks sign-up for a tour of duty as a PB Peacekeeper. People others can turn to when they feel 'stuck' in a confrontation. What we will need is a rotating group of folks..hopefully everyone gets a chance...to help 'mediate' problems. People will have to stick by an objective and strict peace-keeping philosophy.
Despite what anybody thinks, there is *always* a peaceful sollution to conflict. No, it's not idealistic..it is included as part of the UN Peacekeeping Charter.
So...I hope to hear what others have to think, and how we can make PB as close to 100 percent a positive experience as possible. I am willing to give much time and effort in this cause, and I would greatfully welcome others who would be interested in this...and especially your thoughts, Dr. Bob. If it reduces 'banning' folks, and leads more to positive resolution, doesn't that sound great? Thoughts?
In Peace..:-)
