  • There is an issue with the claim in the first paragraph which immediately set off alarms. While it doesn’t hurt the argument for interpersonal respect, such a claim doesn’t support the point the author is trying to make. This reader found it interesting that the writer chose not to employ capital letters for the second person pronouns in the piece.

    This reader also has Webster’s, Roget’s, The Harbrace Handbook, The American Spelling Book, and Washington’s Rules of Civility together on the shelf, for some context. Some portion of the neurodivergent population (such as the person here) cling to these conventions for a sense of security when interacting with others in a written format and no offense or slight is intended. Please assume good faith when interacting with the people on Beehaw.









  • I think yours sounds like a good setup as well; I’m sure there will be a point where I’m thinking “I can’t wait till you start school”

    I try to be a decent human

    All of this sounds very familiar and I will say I’m a fan of the work you’ve done that’s led to who you are. Seriously, I’m glad to have met such a rock solid individual




  • I usually ask how folks prefer to hear the community referenced to avoid those fight or flight responses. Het with some flex, if they get to know me that well, doesn’t mean I’m part of the community as they define it - some people have wider or narrower definitions and qualifiers than others and I’m fine with that - but either way, my comfort doesn’t mean others share that feeling and it’s on me to be conscientious and kind.
