[RP TownTalk] Not a class issue

[Rob Oppenheim]

Wow, we almost have our first flame war starting here!

So here is some oil for troubled waters, or perhaps gasoline on a spark?

David and Jared and other commenters are good people. Really.
They have different sensitivities. And emails are an easy place to ruffle 
feathers without meaning to. And that can escalate big time.

David was not intending to inject class snobbery and Jarad did not mean 
to be disrespectful. Both succeeded in upsetting others. Stuff like that 
happens. A good measure of our email community is how we respond now.
Can we set the hurt aside? Not easy to do.

We live in a wonderfully diverse neighborhood. Its good to think about 
attracting diversity, which can include higher income people. I especially 
like that they pay higher taxes, so I can pay less (grin).

I appreciate Jarad's watchful eye for that thin grey edge which is so easy 
to write past. 

So thanks to both you guys and gals and please keep the ideas coming.

Rob
