It's nice to see you again.
and the reason essentially was I was sick and tired of being called a xenophobe and a racist because of my position regarding illegal immigration.
It's hard to ignore, but try. Sometimes it's just easier, though, to quit reading these news stories and FR for a spell. I know my blood pressure doesn't need to go higher. :-)
Thanks.. I appreciate it.. I've just taken a hiatus from FR.. I've been posting elsewhere.. and started a forum with another former Freeper..
Being continually attacked got very old with assinine accusations.. so I needed to step away for awhile.
