Thanks gang! I have a lot of good words to say about each of you. This board has many strengths, including the opportunity to share information, profess theories (even if somewhat off the beaten path), celebrate together, and even vent together when the team is not doing so well.....but beyond, there are many other benefits: socializing, having a few laughs, and perhaps most important....being able to express oneself, even at times when it is not popular. Yes, all within the confines of being as respectful as one would hope when interacting with other folks.
And along the way, some of us step over the line, which is not a wise move, but perhaps it is often done without realization. Kindness and civility can get forgotten when involved in a heated debate, or when discussion is quite sensitive. Not condoning it, but I understand why it happens. Probably because I am a fairly sensitive person, with very strong views on various subjects.
In the end, it's how we handle ourselves when we go too far. Are we sincere in our apology, if in fact we apologize at all? Are we accountable for what we pronounce? Are we open minded, no matter the outcome? And for me, what's really important, can we forgive one another when it is correct to do so, and move on, always with the objective of getting along? In my case, I have caused a few headaches for sure, but I believe I can forgive pretty much anyone, and would hope that others feel the same. I may have issues with some group behaviour, but one of my most valued policies in life is to try to make things right with anyone I meet. In that regard, I've got some pals here that were not pals at a previous time. We worked it out. And instead of being opposed, we created an open setting for future dialogue. It's a fabulous thing when you can go from negativity to pal status, just because both of you tried. And when folks do that, they often find that they made a good friend, where no friendship existed. POWERFUL stuff.
Thanks again!Last edited by CanDB; 10-11-2018, 09:38 AM.Leave a comment:

- Anthems and Protests --- While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible. With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it. Thank you for understanding. --Broncos Country Message Board Staff
