I found F.R. during the re-count. I was going crazy with the court cases and re-counts and the way the media was covering it. So I did a search and found this forum. Up until recently, it has been a great place to learn news and share ideas. Little real news seems to show up here lately and some of us are obviously no longer welcome.

I don't believe that. Hang on.

If the dabate on these threads upsets you, take a break for awhile and avoid them.

It's not that you're not wanted, but religion and politics debates can become heated.

Don't take it personal. If itdoes becomeapersonal attack, hit the abuse button and report your concern to the mods.

Of course, you are welcome. But no one here has a right to dominate the board and insult people. Not saying you are, but here's the problem.

Today, on some of the threads, Giuilani supporters have inferred accusations of bigotry and closet homosexuality against the people they disagree with. They can dish it out very easily, and then play the victim when they are called on it. They have trashed the memory of Ronald Reagan and questioned our loyalty to the GOP, while accusing us of wanting our way all the time and wanting to impose everything from Christian jihad to litmus tests on them and their candidates.

I've had it with them. And I'm going to fight back, hard. They can insult me, write their cowardly back channel hate mails, or whatever. I've been here a long time. I can take it.

I hope you can. And I hope you will stay. I have yet to read anything inflammatory in your posts. So just get in and start splashing. Remember, bottom line. You're a screename stating your opinion. That's all it is. No more. No less. My best.

My goodness. Until the man from Fresno or his deputies come after you, screw the rest of 'em. You gotta have a tough hide sometimes. Whether you are "welcome" or not is irrelevant. We are all guests here in Jim's house. If we don't like it, the exits are clearly marked.

No one else can run anyone off unless we allow them to.
