“I come here less and less because of this annoyance...”
You do not have to come...coming is your choice. Posting in the ‘Religion Forum’ is a choice that has been made available to us on Free Republic. And by selecting how you come into Free Republic, you can selectively exclude posts in the Forums you do not want to see. For myself, I usually choose ‘Latest Posts’ under ‘Topics’ because I want a quick look at what is of current interest.
To bare one’s soul in a public forum such as this is a gutzy move. I dare you to try it...much better than attacking those who do.
I think you have seen that when I grumbled (wholly within my rights, as a member, I think), the post was under News, which it clearly was not. I think, too, that my grumbling was a sort of baring my soul. I see that my version of truth-telling doesn’t work for you, which is wholly within your rights. Looks like we’re even.
Just so you know, I never go trolling through the religion forums looking for an argument. To each his own. I just come here for political news, not someone’s vanity that really doesn’t have a lot to do with politics. I see so many of these, and they just get annoying after a while. I’m sure if you look around, my level of rudeness was much lower than you can find on just about any thread out there.
