I wasn't even aware of anything happening on here until this afternoon when I had the time to read back a few pages.
Anyway, I think the key point we can all take away from this is to be more cognizant of how other people would feel when reading what you write. RR is different because most of the members know each other, so you have to be more careful not to offend anyone. This includes what you leave in this toilet thread. You can approach this in a rational manner as well by realizing that not everyone thinks and acts like you, nor will they care or agree with what you write.
If any of you are going to post something highly opinionated (in the proper forum), I'd suggest to write what you want and then leave it for about 5-10 minutes to think about the implications of what you write before posting. This includes the content of your post.
This example might be a little related. During the last time a bunch of RR members visited my place, someone's shoes had pebbles. These pebbles dislodged themselves from his shoe's soles and got stuck under my door. People continued to go in and out of the room despite the door being hard to push and because of this, the entire narra plank under my door was irreparably damaged because the scratches were too deep. When I noticed on the same day it was already too late. It wasn't the first time hosting RR people at my house resulted in not-so-small damage to furniture either.
The sad part about this was that out of like seven people, no one noticed or cared and the damage amounts to thousands of pesos. I haven't even had the floor repaired yet. The point of this little story? Try to be more aware if what you're doing is already causing damage to someone else's property or well-being (physical or mental).
