I had to go back and reread what I wrote to have warranted that kind of a compliment. I think I figured it out. Are you surprised that you corrected someone and didn't have to undergo a verbal assault for doing so? If so, I agree. This place is not the civil place I joined so many years ago.

I figured that out when Rush admitted to having done drugs. I was (and still am) his biggest fan. Yet, when I pointed out a few facts (things Rush had actually said) about his drug abuse, I got raked over the coals by someone here and I was accused of hating Rush, blah blah blah. I decided to take the conversation off the board because I felt it was getting too heated and didn't want to embarrass the person publicly because I had proof of what I was saying. So, I messaged the person privately with a link to an article that quoted Rush saying what I had said he said and the person reported me to the moderators for abuse. Ever since then, I have been very gun shy about posting here.

Thank you for the compliment.
