FR is very welcoming...once you show you are not a troll. Indiviual FReepers may not be so welcoming, as ther is a huge variety of opinions here. If you can't deal with dissenting views and occasional rudeness, this is not the place for you. If you can deal with it...Welcome to FR.
Thanks for the welcome. Perhaps today was not the best day to post for the first time. We are so shaken here on the gulf and when you see posts by people that are offended by Shep showing dead bodies it angers you. I will come back another day. Goodbye.
You're right. You just have to respectfully stick to your convictions if you think your views are to be taken seriously. I remember wanting to run away crying when I first got flamed. LOL
