Receive Andrea Reynolds' Weekly Civility Tip Caution: Not for the
timid.
Be forewarned: Although kid-friendly, Andrea's humor
and writing style are similar to Ben Stein's (droll), and occasionally
borders on Lewis Black's style (cranky, exasperated). If you
can't appreciate anecdotes about unacceptable behavior to see
the contrast in kind/civil
behavior,
these tips aren't for you.
But, if you're
as fed up as Andrea is with gossip, slamming, sniping, name calling,
disrespect, rude behavior, mean-spiritedness, hostility, bullying,
mobbing, and aggression, then you will appreciate her short, specific
action steps to making our world more respectful, courteous,
hospitable, compassionate, kind, warm and inclusive.
