Very well said. It's amazing to me how the blogging world can so frequently bring flashbacks of middle school. So far, I don't *think* I've stepped in any poop, but like you said, it's probably only a matter of time in the dog park.

Have read all of yours and Jill's, (loved them!) stumbled into a few Train Wreck Blogs and one particularly foul group of hate-mongers. Learned my lesson! So happy for your Valentine's Day kiss.

I think healthy disagreement/debate is great. It allows us to learn from one another and how we got our idea/thought. I love that you said we don't have to respond. Sometimes that is the best revenge, not engaging.<br /><br />I agree also that it becomes like JR High. An experience I hated and have no wish to repeat. <br /><br />I am cheering you from my desk.

And this is why I pretty much stay the heck away from any autism groups anymore, minus a very small parents' group I'm a part of where the #1 rule is no judging (respectful disagreement ok). I feel like no matter what I say it's going to be "wrong," so why even try to engage in conversation?MarfMomhttp://marfmom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420419511488075050.post-20698557863509486112013-02-15T10:38:37.295-08:002013-02-15T10:38:37.295-08:00what if it's HIGHLY inappropriate??
