I realize that it was a very long time ago, but I remember a time where this community used to welcome any/all opinions/thoughts/perspectives. I remember a time that this community used to exhibit grace and was willing to extend such grace fairly frequently. I remember a time that I learned something from someone on a very regular basis - or I was provoked to think - or rethink - or I went through a process of consideration to change a stance - or I was forced to reflect about various things - or I was grateful to have been shown things. I could go on and on.
Those days are long gone.
