Good morning to you all.

I�ve been away for the last few days because, as many of you know, I have to hand in my master degree dissertation on Sep. 30, next Thursday, and I have a lot of work to do with classes and all.  However, whenever I can, I drop by in the morning or late at night to check what�s up in my favourite site and, today, although I should be working right now, I simply care too much for this wonderful community to ignore the post I�ve just seen.

 I have no words to express the profound sadness I feel to see what�s going on in the forum. There have been occasions when people disagreed or even accused others with or without a reason, but never, never before have I seen such rudeness, such disrespect towards another human being, expressed by awful words of hate and spite, which make up for the worst personal attack I�ve seen made public among "civilized" people.  Nothing can justify this. Nothing can justify exposing the members of the site to such undignified behaviour. Humbleness is a virtue. Without it, there�s no personal growth no matter how many degrees or titles we may have. If we are not able to accept our mistakes and be brave enough to admit them, how can we possibly learn from them?!...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who take the risk of being bullied and publicly humiliated by reporting stolen worksheets just to make this a better site for all of us.

Wish you all a nice day.

Thank you so much for these wise and inspiring words, dear Mena!

And you �re a lovely young woman, too! But there �s nothing wrong in being a young and alert grandma! (I �m probably closer to grandma age than you )
