We should always remember there are human beings behind these posts (well, 99.9% of them anyway...lol), and we should all strive to be nicer (including me of course) to our fellow contributors on this message board.
You never know when you're typing to someone for the last time ever, or if the person you are calling names in a post is struggling with something devastating in real life (like the loss of a loved one).
So my message for everyone in 2021 is to be nicer.

Very true Mike about real life.
REBel Ron and I shared an admiration for Charles Krauthammer, who had almost an identical spinal injury. I never heard him say a disparaging word about anybody on here, or otherwise. I can be somewhat argumentative in person, but have met quite a few nice guys on here, even if we differed politically, or philosophically.
We recently lost an old friend to liver cancer, and another lifelong friend and classmate at PSU, battled for his life with covid. After 12 days in the hospital, 4 in ICU, he came home with an oxygen tank. So what people say on PA does not usually register on my getting upset meter. Maybe 2021 can be a better year on the forum as well as the country.
