YES!!! So Much Yes!

I haven't really thought about it, but I can certainly see what you are on about.

Note that this site is a very skewed section of society so the results of any poll wouldn't be a useful cross-section of society, but it is fun to ask & answer questions

For the large majority of the folks on this site yes.

Yes, the folks here seem to be open minded, sympathetic and encouraging. Any criticism is usually well thought out and offered in a positive manner, so we can hone our opinions for sharing outside the site, if any of these subjects come up. This site causes pauses for thought, for sure!

You mean this isn't real life! I'm going to have to think about this.

Can't say I have, quite a few folks on here who are intolerant to differing point of views. I still enjoy using this site though despite some of the trolling on here.

I did find the same...when I put ‘stuff,’ out there...I work harder at what I mean and want to say! And, I have noticed that when confronted, I mostly do not take it as a personal assault! All of my opinions need not be validated and I am still entitled to them...that is a step-up for me!

Not me but I still like this site.

Regardless of what experience one has here, it is always interesting and enjoyable.
