You think that…<br />an angry rain of exclamation marks<br />has muddied the common ground."<br /><br />...is powerful. A superb use of imagery and metaphor to drive the point home.<br /><br />I kept in mind all the arguments I have come across on FB (more often than not between complete strangers), and yes, you are right. The wars have turned digital and we have turned uncivil and impulsive. But thankfully, there are some who realize this and are quick to amend it in their own selves.<br /><br />Loved this.
