It’s been almost a year since I started working here at The Evening Sun, and during that time I have learned a lot about the community and the little world in which we live. I have discovered there are some great people doing some great things, but if you judged the community solely by the comments of those posting in the online version of ‘30 Seconds,’ you would probably think the community was full of rude, bigoted gossips.

Yesterday, as part of my daily routine, I was reading through the posts in the online version of ‘30 Seconds’ and the Forum. I was not surprised to see several snarky comments about people with piercings and tattoos. (I guess this is relatively minor when you think of all the other people that have been insulted simply for living their own lives.)
