My dear friends, my heart is heavy. I have been trying to catch up, and have been reading some very insensitive responses to some people's postings.
This is a place to gather and be friends. To share and have fun.
It isn't a place to ridicule someone, correct their spelling or punctuation, or give low rates to be mean.
I'm thankful that for the most part, everyone here is wonderful. But a few people are really hurtful. I don't know if they mean it or not, but I hope that they read this, and realize it isn't nice to bash someone's post. If they don't like it, don't comment and go on.
I had to vent that, as it hurt me to see nasty comments on my friends posts.
So, whomever you are, please try not to do that. Okay?
May God bless every single person on Gather.
Sending you all a big ((((((HUG))).

BTW, conventional wisdom on ratings is that any rating is worth the same number of points to the person who posts the content. I rated this article 5. That's a C based on creativity and execution. It's average work. It isn't creative but doesn't have major errors in grammar or spelling. The argument is acceptable. I don't rate much of anything 10.
November 4th Americans will choose a direction for the country. It is our responsibility as citizens to push forward whatever the results. Let's make the best of it...by doing our part.
There is always going to be this kind of person! They are so miserable that they have to take it out on others! They get off on it! It is a type of bullying.
I have been delighted by several good debates I've read on here, as well as been appalled at the hate postings and comments I've seen. We really do have all types on Gather. It's easy to avoid the hateful ones by not reading their posts, but it's hard to avoid their comments.
