Restraint. Well lets take a look at that word.

Does it mean, that to show restraint is to say nothing at all?

Or does it mean, to use reasoned argument rather than a rant?

Or perhaps it means NOT to retailiate with insults and accusations when these are levelled at you.

All three came into play yesterday, so yes, there was a lot of restraint on one side, while another persisted in re-opening the old blog debate and hurling insults at people on this site. Any one of those people could have hurled equal insults back, and would have been within their right to do so, but nobody did. Challenged the person yes, reasoned with them yes, but retaliated? NO. That's restraint.

Did it get us anywhere? Nope.

sometimes, there is a grieving that nothing can assuage and so it comes out in anger at stupid situations around one, we all have those moments when we take out on someone or something the grief and anger we have to smother just in order to get through the days.

Maybe there has been someone on this board today...probably more than several actually.... who wasn't really in the best frame of mind to show restraint in words or actions.

I wish you all a safe journey through the night and hope that help and comfort is somewhere close at hand if you need it .

Night all
Rose xx
