Life in prison should be a good incentive on this

Thanks.

I’ve had problems lately with Chrome. Adware with popups. Hate it. Nothing shows up when I run anti-virus software.

Can this process be used on Chrome?

Appreciate it.

OK, JimRob, please do not delete this thread. You have better things to do than act as referee to the various factions that post here.

That being said, I remember that this is a site for conversation, and divergent thoughts coming together to find some sort of middle ground.

This little spat is not worth worrying about. The various participants will eventually go their own ways without any harm done. It is only the Liberals who demand that you adhere to their stated Ideology or be banned, and I know that this site is much better than that.

Thanks again for the opportunity to post here, and sorry that someone tried to bring you into this.

This is nothing more than a difference of opinion between FReepers, and you should not worry overmuch about it. Eventually, we will be focused upon whether or not Ted Cruz can make it (I hope he does -with Sarah Palin!), and this will be a slight bump in the months preceeding the elections.

Have a great day. :)
