Ladies, Gentlemen, Railroaders, Railfans and members of the forum at large: There is an old saying that comes from the previous three centuries. Civil discourse (discussion) must by requirement remain civil. For the most part I must admit that this is a very civil forum to be as large as it is. There are occasions when the membership will rise up when something has gotten out of hand. In the Depot thread I have found some of the most delightfull reading that I have ever read and in the technical areas where the Clergy of the rails preaches the gospel of all matters in view worthy (for the most part) of hearing. Freedom is a treasure, most especially that of speech and assembly which are praticed well in these threads. It was James Madison, one of the authors of our federal constitution and its Bill of Rights that had an absolute belief in Freedom of Speech as well as Peacable Assembly, with some warning from his letters: Civil Discourse and Peacable Assembly are among the highest forms of civilization when practiced among men (read persons) of good will. I can speak now as to what I am getting at. It is very rare that I do not read a great civility in these threads and a great deal of respect and even honor among the participants. Let us then understand that we can read and hear contrary opinion, but have the good manners to know how to deal with it. sign me as Elder Piouslion (By the way Roy is one where he worships)
