Goldilucky lost her posting privileges in mid-February, and I can't help feel somewhat to blame...I had pinged her and some others to the Bush Daily Dose thread, where she posted some anti-Bush comments. The BushBackers really came after her hard and despite my stepping in as a peacemaker, it was like oil and water.

In retrospect, inviting Goldi over to the Dose was a poor decision on my part, but Ms. Lucky certainly shouldn't be held off FR.com forever, just for posting her anti-Bush words on an inappropriate thread, imho. I don't agree with everything goldilucky says either, but we're far too anxious to rid this website of varying opinions.

"Kerry Wants to be Second Black President!!"

""President Clinton (news - web sites) was often known as the first black president. I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be the second," Kerry told the American Urban Radio Network."

"...but she seems to have moved on to the LibertyPost and getting along fine."

She has, huh.

"I don't agree with everything goldilucky says either, but we're far too anxious to rid this website of varying opinions."

While I agree with both your points, it's also important to remember we're *not* in Kansas anymore, too.
That fact has been made quite plain to all for good, bad or indifferent.

My reaction has been to cut down dramatically posting here (which I'm absolutely certain delights management to no end) as well a couple other expression(s) I employ to cast my vote showing my dissatisfaction.

Be that as it may, it's the old man's place & that's that.
eh?

Still, I really dislike seeing her -- or any other living soul for that matter including my dear friend "Bad Joe" -- forced into going to that cheap, dreadful "off-the-shelf" software, restrictive, oppressive, Leper Colony-like place, too.
I really, sincerely do.
No one should have to face such a horrible fate.

But then again & in all honesty she'll be in good company over there; and, may find she actually prefers it to the constrictions of this site.

...God works in strange ways.

That is not the point here. You and Goldi know very well the premise of The Daily Dose.
Free Republic is a big site that can accomodate other threads.
The folks that regularly post on The Daily Dose are well aware of the dissenting opinion about W here, and they are never hesitant to engage in debate about that.
But going on The Daily Dose with the intent, unintentional or not, to disrupt, was wrong.

Goldi can make up another name and return. This after all is the Net.
I myself looked forward to her posts. She's no doubt an intelligent lady.
Maybe the different factions here can one day decide to stop being so belligerent and try to respect each other's opinions.
We are all on the same boat. But a lot of us have a different idea of how we proceed to the promised land.

"Goldilucky's words from the netherworld..."

Dear Brad's Gramma, Ms. Goldilucky asked that I pass on her apologies for a mean-spirited post she sent your way a coupla weeks back. I'd like to add my apologies fer pinging Goldi to the Dose when I shouldda known her disappointment with some of the things Dubyuh's done would not be appreciated by the DailyDose regulars. Reckon I'm still a bit naive in believing that folks with varying viewpoints can talk through our differences if we leave the lines of communication open.

As Ms. Lucky said in the linked post, "If you and I thought alike, we'd have nothing to talk about. That's what makes America great. It was founded on individualism; not homogenized thinking!"
