Human decency
Hello.
I have some things to say. Not as a moderator, but as a human being.
I have not been online in over a month due to family obligations.
What I logged into today, was appalling.
I say this in the most heartfelt way, just stop, just stop and actually think before you start typing.
Where has the empathy gone?
Where has the compassion for your neighbors gone?
Where has the human decency gone?
So many comments that are blatantly racist, ableist, degrading, condescending, rude, and more.
Does anyone of that make you feel better about yourselves?
Do you go to sleep with a clear conscience after you spew your hatred?
I live in the USA, where we have been dealing with, and watching our leadership commit the atrocities that you see on the TV and internet for centuries. This should be a place FREE from all of that, where people can be themselves and not be ridiculed or feel ostracized.
There is a reason that we have had an increase in deleting and/or locking posts, and/or comments, because you all can't act right!! We would like to not have to do that.
Have some self respect and some gosh dang decorum.
