It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy

And BTW Heartleaa, you have to know I ain't no saint. I'm all in for sparring in the ring, but first we need more opponents willing to battle

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

One of my favorite bloggers,
Erika Napoletano
, is celebrating her 42nd birthday with
a month of posts
about life's lessons (I actually meant to post about Day 5 and haven't had time to get to it yet). Today's post is
Hard Truths, Day 7: Get Sucked Out
. The message of the article is why and how to not be an asshole. (I'll be delving into this, and some of her other articles, more deeply on
my blog
, if you're interested).
One of her fans replied to the article with this message, which I immediately thanked them for because it so succinctly put what our new goal is for the environment here at My Mountain Town:
I can't MAKE anyone feel a particular emotion. But I can help create an environment where it is easier to feel one emotion over another. ~Charles Murley
That statement clearly defines what sets this site apart from our competitors, and it requires effort not just from management, but from those who use the site as well - it's a team effort! Our goal has always been:
1. To be a welcoming and friendly place, available to all in the community because no one would be banned
2. To be a site where we can be treated as adults with fair and minimal moderation practices
3. To enjoy freedom of speech because no threads would ever be locked
and we've managed to do it in a way that is more positive and beneficial for all. I'm fully confident that we are continuing to make it so because we have the best members and moderators ever here!
This community forum is a place for neighbors to talk, get to know one another, and share concerns over local happenings, all in a way that is constructive and makes things better for everyone. Thank you all for contributing and helping this site grow in a positive way and become better and better!

Let's start this new year off with positive intentions! This quote is somewhat idealistic rather than realistic, but it's the intention, the goal of striving for solutions, that matters. If we keep this in mind, we can't help but have better conversations and make our community an even better place to live!
