		<description>[...] Barry was telling me the other day that he wanted the bloggers at the wurk network to write edgier material. At first, I wasn&#8217;t even really sure what he was talking about. Did he want us to be snarky? You know how I feel about that. [...]</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;qadira&lt;/b&gt;: I don&#039;t think you&#039;re snarky at all!  I&#039;m not saying we should all walk around with halos and wings, but I&#039;m sure we can all use a reminder to be a little gentler esp. when it comes to words in public spaces.</description>

		<description>While I can&#039;t say I&#039;ve never succumbed to snarkiness in my online writings, it just seems like such a waste of time to spend one&#039;s energy focusing on trashing other people.  

I personally am trying to shift my focus and perspective in life towards those things that perpetuate things of hope and positive space.  Could do better, but hey, goals are good things :)</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Mona&lt;/b&gt;: I&#039;m not so sure about that, actually.  It&#039;s like when people say bullies have low self-esteem...there&#039;s some evidence to the contrary.  Snark works to some extent so I can see why people who have it in them don&#039;t want to change.  Me, I just get too tired trying to be snarky.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;Abigail&lt;/b&gt;: And black it certainly is - black and blue once I&#039;m through with &#039;em!  ;)

&lt;b&gt;Maria&lt;/b&gt;: Then you are not quite charming enough!

&lt;b&gt;parentingjoy&lt;/b&gt;:  As with most things, snark can be fun in moderation.  But some seem to make it an occupation which just makes me want to run the other way.</description>

		<description>Was definitely snarky as a teenager.  In fact, was Queen of Snark.  But one day, checked myself and quit.  Ever since then, snarkiness (mine or others) leaves a real bad taste in my mouth.  Oh, I am not completely cured.  Once in a blue moon, I do slip up.  Am no saint after all.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;gracefruit&lt;/b&gt;: Good point.  And here I thought they just enjoyed being buttheads.  ;)

&lt;b&gt;Congogirl&lt;/b&gt;: I would feel so insulted to be told that I&#039;d be good at snark.  I&#039;m glad you didn&#039;t want to practice your supposed skill.

&lt;b&gt;mdmhvonpa&lt;/b&gt;:  I&#039;ve got the cure - isolation.  :D</description>
