YES,IT IS THAT BIG OF A DEAL!
I was once a newbie here too,yes,but I was NOT a political naif and a damned nervous Nellie.
Rules are made for good reasons.If you can't obey them,then leave and cut out the bleeding heart garbage and guilt trip attempt.
I WAS nervous but then I watched a Hannity and Colmes re-run on Fox and now that Colmes has me nervous AND nauseous.
