I try to be polite here too. I've had some pretty pointed conversations with some people, but I know how it makes me feel when I open my personal email and find something rude or hateful there, and I try not to do that to other people. I've had to work on my sarcastic tendencies!

I think we all have more common ground than we think we do. Somehow our differences feel like they're more amplified than they used to be. Maybe that's the social media effect.
