Greg, yes, yes and more yes. Social discourse is at an all time low. Too often there is little to no respect for the dignity of the other human being when disagreement or conflict comes to the fore. Would an app help? Perhaps. It is a yardstick not be as prone to bias. Would SM combatants adopt it? Maybe. And maybe never. I think it is a step in the right direction. People don't want to humble themselves and admit they might be exaggerating, belittling or bullying. I think your idea is worth pursuing. To get the people on the left side of the aisle to buy in, be sure to pick an example of poor behavior by those on the right.
Really thought-provoking, Greg. I think because many of us don't have time for heated battles, we just refuse to engage on social media anymore. I got tired of KNOWING everyone's politics, and knowing they are angry.

Thank you, Paul!
