I narrowed a lot of my own participation and comments on propeller as a result of something you said. Dare I say that as a spade caller, you sometimes make assumptions about people that just are not true, and you won't have your mind changed about your original call? On our last meet, I saw you as a person so hip on your own credibility and clear-thinking that you could not see the woods for the tree in front of your nose. I still participate in propeller, but not in any threads where you play. I love debate, but it is not a debate when one person is a stone wall, unwilling to see anything beyond his own rightness. Bill Platt SC,

Lots of people go on them to vent. I've been through it, and I've seen you going through it too, SC. I think we've both learned and grown because of the experience.

Yes... it is a benefit to have the opportunity to go back and review the details of our comments and the remarks of other. Learning to spot, admit, and to amend mistakes gives us the rare opportunity to change. Postive personal growth and actual change is most difficult for most of us. It is for me. I agree; restraint of tongue and pen pays off when we can apply it. Thanks again for leaving that kind note. Thank you for taking the time to post your comment.

One advantage of blogging is that the writer and the reader can re-read and re-read until a message is understood or communicated sensitively! For me it is much easier to express what I really want to say when I write instead of speak off the top of my head...and when our heads are heated, we really need to be extra careful!! Thanks for such honest reporting. How honorable of you to admit your wrong, and write this article as a way of keeping the dialogue and commenting positive, pointed, and peaceful.
