A gentle plea for civility

last modified: 10 years ago

Having watched/visited all of the MyHouzz stories revisited for 2015, I was shocked by the avid criticisms of people's personal spaces. I once thought it was my "right and duty" to criticize anything I came across on Houzz, but that generally lead to unpleasant and unproductive contention. I have now adopted my mother's timeless advice - "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". So, I ignore the spaces that I dislike and spread some love for those that inspire or make me think. If I disagree and say so, I try to do it in a civil and respectful manner. As a result, Houzz has become a source of inspiration instead of a battleground. Are you willing to go this route? We don't have to be "right" - just "open-minded". What do you think?
