I know it got very nasty. It became like an infectious sore that kept on being picked on. I got tired of it and would stay away for a while but always checked in. I saw some of your arguments and I agree with you that some should not be allowed back.
Now that we are all on the Trump Train, I do still hope some do come back. Others I wouldn’t miss.
Some who got banned were "sleeper accounts", who only post every 4 years or 8.
Some are coming back and I hope that they behave. Some should NEVER come back.
Thanks for your kind words. :-)
