Civility

Jordan Jordan June 19, 2009 1 Comment

We love you. No, really, we do.

Why? Simple stuff. For example, take a look at the comments section the recent Noise vs Neighbors post. A potentially flame war in the making as the peace-and-quiet clan squared off against the vibrant-nightlife crew. But did Wallyhood readers wade into fiery tussle of name-calling and chest pounding? Nope, just a bunch of folks offering their opinion about where the balance should be and, it seemed, listening to each other and offering suggestions.

And how about Grinding Wheels of Progress, where one commenter replied a bit too hastily to another. Did the recipient of the barb shoot back with an angry retort? Did others, sensing weakness leap into the fray? Nope. Another commenter gently chided the first, who apologized, defused the situation with a joke and the conversation continued.

God, we love Wallingford.

    Yep, Wallingfordians are pretty civil. No name calling so far.
    Some folks just want a nights’ sleep and some want to dance all night at their neighbor’s expense.
    Big question I was asked by my “Better Half” was, why do some businesses want to have such extremely loud music? Can’t they just bring it down a few notches – maybe they can hear the drink orders easier.
    BTW, Wallyhood, are “we” disappointed that there wasn’t a food fight over that posting?

Wallyhood needs you!
