We agree to disagree. Sometimes, we yell at each other that we are agreeing to disagree. What our family suffers under is that we are typing words to each other, and not saying them. Voice inflections mean more than smilicons. We get short with each other, because we are responding to typed words – not a face behind those words.

Breneir and I met at crossed ideas, but not crossed words. Breneir was concerned, that I would take his comments as a slam against me. Far from it. I wish people would stand up to me, and challenge me.. in a civil way. I consider Breneir a friend. Just like everyone else in the KOT.
