Thanks for sharing museumofmailart.

I received an asemic drawing of Diane Keys from Meeah Williams in Brooklyn.

I am way too bouncy to be contentious. I duck and dodge. And I never mean to be mean. Sometimes I think I just need a nap or something, before I get all wordy. Anyone who says a lot will sooner or later say something that tips the scales one way or another. And I appreciate the check rein that balances out my yak with the voice of reason. You are a kind fellow, DVS, and  you prove it every day.  --Linda

And "wisdom" ? at IUOMA? I don't think anyone knows what that means.

C'mon Linda. I don't want you to think I'm suggesting you should reduce posting comments. I like your comments. You missed a lot of things I'm talking about. You're not contentious. It is true. The calm can explode into ugliness. People are being polite now. Things are good. With 3000 plus people, yeah, there will be incidents.

I will think more. Post less.  And learn from the wisdom of others.  --Linda

NBS, how can you beat that three word Dickens sentence? And thanks for the clarification.

Interesting discussion, as my experience is that it is almost impossible to know what is joking or serious on the IUOMA platform. All the performance stuff makes it even more confusing. I've seen people locked in deadly verbal combat hurling vile insults at each other and people urging them on because they (the viewers) thought it was a joke or performance thing. It has worked the other way too. I will get serious for a moment and say that after five years, I encourage civility, supportiveness and thinking before you post.

Thank you for your encouragement, Nancy. There are places where they call people like me "smarty-pants." My kids still do, but they better smile when they say it.  --LInda

"I am born," 1st line of "David Copperfield," in top 5 fav classics when I wasn't literary in absentia. Linda, he's right, you're fine. One types something deadpan and it looks simply dead. Don't you love it? An online curse, and it'll never go away, so we just have to take our chances, which you do very well.

Once again, DVS, you prove that you are a kind fellow.
