Andrea
Reynolds' Weekly Civility Tip
Caution:
Not for the timid.
Be forewarned: Although kid-friendly, Andrea's humor
and writing style are similar to Ben Stein's (droll), and occasionally
borders on Lewis Black's (cranky, exasperated). If you can't
appreciate anecdotes about unacceptable behavior to see the contrast
in kind/civil
behavior,
these tips aren't for you.
But, if you're
as fed up as Andrea is with gossip, slamming, sniping, name calling,
disrespect, rude behavior, mean-spiritedness, hostility, bullying,
mobbing, and aggression, then you will appreciate her short, specific
action steps to making our world more respectful, courteous,
hospitable, kind, compassionate, warm and inclusive.
