I like that list, Debbie, or not!. :D :D :D We have something like that at RM. IE Diversity. People don't always take notice.
A fine list by principle, but If you are annoyed with someone or something you don't always observe such niceities. I know I don't!!
I know the principle is good, but some of that smacks of the political correctness and interference in how we act and what we say which isn't always for the better. Yes, some of today's society needs improving but you can go to far the otehr way.
