Yeah, and there never was any "coven" either. It was just a figment of everyone's imagination, doncha know?

Cliques. Oh. I thought that was clicks. I damn near wore out my mouse trying to run the site.

Click. . .Click. . .Click. . .Click. . .Click. . .Click. . .Click. . .Click. . .Click. . .

Thanks for letting me in on that. However, I disagree based on the composition of some of the ping lists and the tone of some of the replies over the past four years. If you want specifics, I don't have any right at hand now to draw from. There are instances of marginalizing some and while overlooking the mistakes of others.

An example, some people who post on FR are considerably older. They grew up in a different era and have different mores and different insights. What is considered politically incorrect now, was not at all when they were younger. Its very easy for younger people to poke fun at them and ascribe them as having no value. However, when I get to be their age, I sure hope people are a little more forgiving than they seem to be here. Alienating and marginalizing older people because a younger person might think their beliefs are unhip, is something only a weakling would do. In some ways, its also how America got to where i is now. We failed to look back to look forward. Intemperant views on race are an example of this. Sometimes a gentle hand can accomplish a lot more than slamming someone up side the head because you disagree with them.
Does that mean some older people can't be outright whacky old fools and just plain wrong ? Of course not. It just means, maybe some would be wise to consider what it might be like when they themselves get older. Note, this was an EXAMPLE. I'm not pointing fingers.
