A prayer for 2017- peace, unity and an end to the word "useless"

Good day fellow Alpha Members, and Happy New Year!  I know we’ll never have peace and unity, but can I gently request that we all be more thoughtful participants here and across the web in 2017?  

Rather than dismissing something as “useless”, how about just stating the ways in which it falls short for you?  Perhaps you can really go above and beyond by considering the ways in which it might in fact be useful for others.  

Now go forth and comment.  Cheers!
