I'm having a lot of trouble with the typing here. Sometimes the letters just won't appear on the screen unless I pound the keys. So it takes a long time. I just wanted to mention that I'm no spring chicken either. I've lived long enough to look back on a lot of things I've done and realize how stupid they were. I'm sure that I've sometimes hurt people, not because I'm mean spirited, but because I misjudged, didn't understand, was naive or was short sighted. I've learned that you have to try to look at things from the other person's point of view. That makes it easier to forgive or to realize that it was you who was wrong. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove to me that they don't deserve it. So I guess that's what I bring to the table when I'm judging a situation on the show. All of the characters have faults or the show wouldn't be realistic. Some characters are decent human beings; others are in the gray area; and some are just downright bad to the bone.

I enjoy analyzing things and seeing other points of view, too. I've been in a nasty debate or two, myself, and I can appreciate the respect here.
