Thank you @Shello. I do feel that we need to listen to each other more. We were given 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. I wouldn't say so much that he was an a**hole but more just ignorant to certain norms and facts.
We need to heal division and in order to do that, the rhetoric has to change. We are all doing our part to work on it and voice the opinions that need to be voiced.
