This community self governs the Spout Off. We can change the nature and content of postings simply by sharing stories of neighbors who inspire us, commending people/services, relaying stories of courage, self sacrifice, unselfishness and honor. Criticisms can include suggestions for solutions. Hateful posts can simply be ignored. This is your community and you have the power to create an environment that fosters support, encouragement, empathy, solutions and inspiration. Lets create the kind of community that reflects the potential for greatness that is within each and every one of us.
