D-I-S-R-E-S-P-E-C-T Find out what it means to me

I noticed quite a few replies to many different posts being a little disrespectful lately.

Having a differing opinion is one thing, flaming or cursing someone out because they don't agree with you is another.

We are adults here and don't need to be "touchy-feely" and "PC" all the time, but respectfully disagreeing with someone (even in a "tough-love" way) is a better approach.

There were times that someone really needed a response that would have even the filthiest mouthed person want to wash my mouth out with internet soap (probably "Lava" soap, since it has pumice in it), but I resisted. Not because they got over on me, but I decided not to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Granted, some people post as trolls and bait people, they are so good at it they are "master-baiters", but sometimes a non-aggressive response to them is better. They won't get the rise out of you and hopefully they will slither away back to underneath the bridge where they came from never to be heard from again.

No animals were hurt in the making of this post.

Dolly wrote it. Dolly sings it better. End of discussion.

Just kidding. I agree, Whitney's version is goose bump worthy. But MAN they overplayed that song when she passed!

But really, Dolly rules. She's my personal hero, and I love her.

I live pretty close to Dolly's hometown and amusement park, so she's an idol around here. I remember the first time I saw the movie The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and saw Dolly was in it. I was astounded. Lol
