I don't understand "asking to be zotted" or for writing an "opus" either. If I ever get so offended or disgusted with this place or feel that my input is not welcome, I would simply change my home page from F.R. to Cartoon Central and never look back.
There are two things in my back ground that a majority of members probably do not like. I am a 30 plus year retired union member and I am against the death penalty. I don't argue either issue. Nothing can change either of those facts about me. Why debate them? What is,is.
It depends on what your definition....oh, never mind.
I hear ya. Most opuses remind me of a childish temper tantrum, screaming some tirade then running to their room and slamming the door. Likewise, having that tantrum on a thread and forcing the mods to zot you. A waste of bandwidth and emotion.
As to your other views, no problem here. There are many other subjects that can bring people together. I like hearing differing views. I just hate it when people holding different views choose to call others morons (and such) if they won’t agree with them. If a person is honest and open, I will respect their opinion. If they are championing liberalism, they really shouldn’t be looking for support on a conservative forum.
