I wish you wouldn't leave. You're one of the best posters on this site. I've never seen you post an uninteresting article. If you insist on leaving, you will be missed.
I do know how you feel. I'm from California, and there are plenty of California-bashers on this site, too. There are also baby boomer bashers, and women bashers. There are certain threads, certain topics I've just learned to stay away from, to not even click on. There are lots of knuckleheads on this site, unfortunately. But I hope you'll decide to stay anyway, for the sake of the good people who are here. If not, good luck to you, and thanks for the great posts!
I apologise if I have upset or you feel I am contributing to the problems that Mad Ivan is talking about by my comments to dirtboy but I felt compiled to defend a gracious Christain lady in Ohio W Fan
