Topic: RE: Who inspires you?

That's a good list Anne. It's great to spend time finding the inspiration around us vs the ugliness that is so often evident.

Great thinkers is definitely an inspiration but Gentleness? that rocks!

Topic: RE: Blocks

There was someone here a few months ago - I can't remember the screen name - that blocked an entire group of people, even those with whom she never had any interaction.  Guilt by association, I guess you would call it.

From my perspective, you can't really know or judge people if you bury your head in the sand.  Unless you rely on others to tell you how to think.  I think that's sad.

Bigots, hypocrites, ultracrepidarians, and those who are mean for the sheer joy of it. This is not an all inclusive list.

Topic: RE: pet peeves

People who are ungracious and won't accept or acknowledge apologies

People who are lazy

People who think everything they say is interesting

People who don't use their blinkers

People who are desperate for attention

People who can't handle open communication and dialog

People who lie about their experience and/or credentials

And most of all, hypocrites

Oh, no! You mean I am denying it an opportunity to improve its station in life?  Well  if I catch it it will be homeless as I shall do something very nasty indeed to its owner. 

To be honest I care more about my mediaeval cobble stones!

Topic: RE: pet peeves

- "Special snowflake syndrome" (people who think they are as unique as snowflakes and deserve to be treated as special and beautiful no matter how horrible and/or unimpressive their behavior may be)

- People who believe the plural of "anecdote" is "data" (hint: it's not! Come back with n > 30 and we'll talk)

- Eye makeup that melts and makes me look like a raccoon within 20 minutes (i.e. 90% of it)

- Activist groups who think that evolution shouldn't be taught in schools because it's "just a theory" and you can't see it (technically, so is gravity, but I don't see anybody claiming that discussing why we don't go flying off the ground into space threatens anyone's sincerely-held religious beliefs)
