[Solamente]

I'll be the first to admit that I had a particularly hard day.

I flipped on my computer for a little solice on Free Republic.

By solice, I mean that Free Republic does wonders in balancing my emotional response to this world, while allowing the free exchange of ideas, some of which are normally surpressed in our reptant repositories.

This is why you'll see some FReepers cut jokes over a tragedy, while others are calling for prayers.

I got an all caps ping from someone I was not familiar with - hence my question: "Why did you ping me?"

That I did not know of you was my fatal mistake, so it seems.

Have a hard look at your friends, who reduce me after my many years here, as a he/she/it.

I see this as an education to me as to what kinds of people I am in society with on Free Republic.

See who turns on a dime.

I have already turned myself in to the scrutiny of the admin istators/moderators.

No hard feelings.

I've also pinged you many times before, since you have been on the New York State ping list for about three years, ever since someone made up the list for me.
