Good Grief.   I was not posting fear, nor was I making a panicky statement.   How can saying pull me back from the ledge instill fear in anyone?   It's just a slightly humorous throwaway rejoinder.   The same as "beam me up Scotty" or "get a life."

Please consider that in a text format emotions can only be inferred by your word usage and punctuation. We honestly don’t want you or anyone else in a panicky state. The following combination of words appeared to several to be a concern for you.

higgmeister:
“ This is really bad news as far as I’m concerned.

“US Secretary of State Pompeo ‘deeply troubled’ by Navalny arrest

“US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he was “deeply troubled by Russia’s decision to arrest Aleksey Navalny,” in a tweet on Sunday.

Pompeo went on to say that “confident political leaders do not fear competing voices, nor see the need to commit violence against or wrongfully detain, political opponents.”

“Would Secretary Pompeo have used that language if our Department of Defense was about to stop the Biden Inauguration?
Somebody please talk me back from the ledge.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My apologies for offense as that was/is not intended. But we are seeing several people posting about being afraid and anxious. We don’t want you fearful. And we don’t want anyone else to mis-read your words and take on fear. We want the best for all.

And I am very glad you are good. WWG1WGA

Time is short, and we are all under some pressure, both external and self-induced. We’re all on the same team here, although we might get on one another’s nerves from time to time.

FreeQuers are FreeQuers so why should it be,
Everyone should get along so awefully...
