I don't come here nearly as much as I used to. I've been a member since early 2004 but changed my screen name. I was very active on this site before. Too much fighting now. Last week, there was a nasty battle going on between two posters on a thread about a woman who died so she could deliver her baby. She refused chemotherapy. My point being is that, the topic doesn't matter.
I lurked for quite awhile before signing up to post. I noticed some ‘spirited’ posting re: Terry Schiavo and Natalee Holloway.
I’m truly sorry that it backed you off so much, especially since you seem a reasonable person. And yes, I see what you mean about topics not mattering.
