The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

This is all Pres. Clinton's fault, I should know, I was there.

They serve polenta in Michelin starred restaurants. It’s essentially foufou Italian grits.

I’m no big grits defender, but hominy, which is harder to find in Michelin starred restaurants, is something that is worth losing a limb about. It’s how the south does corn right.

Grits, grits, hominy grits... I don't know I didn't count them...

Yup.
Oh! Turn your volume down.

Nice idea for a thread, thank you, Retreater.

If I gave myself over to knee-jerk reactions, I would probably post ten times more than I do. I learned a long time ago, though, to merely comment when there is an idea I can support or if I can gently suggest some latent positive elements in a post. I subscribe to the notion of adding one's voice to the positive and ignoring the negative, unless it is outright oppression, but that would be irrelevant to the Enworld forum.

And, in reference to Retreaters's original post, a day or two later, I have always felt good about doing this. I cannot recall ever regretting not posting something negative. There is an inherent creation of positive energy in self-restraint.

This resonates some with me. The times that I've been overly negative, and have at least been aware of the fact, it has bothered me.

In general it's been important to find some balance and control over negativity even if only for the sake of mental health. So I've learned to apologize more and conciliate more because it makes sense and works. With more self awareness comes more self consciousness when I've done something to irritate or hurt another person.

The best I can do is hope and try to do better the next time.

I actually remembered to check if it was a 5e or a general D&D thread before starting to type a response.

Let's not go there, please and thanks.

That thread is still a bad idea.
