I think that it's very difficult to interpret the tone that people are using when they speak or write. Sometimes, when something is said, it is taken out of context because you don't know how the person intended the statement. There are things that both interests and members take out of context.

As far as an interest being jumped on or attacked, I don't believe that's necessary unless the person is coming totally incorrect. Sometimes if there is ignorance on a board, we should all take a minute to think about what we want to say. So instead of getting the emotional response, there will be some thought put into what is said.

But I do understand that comments against or misinformed about everyone's respected organization could raise someone's blood pressure.
