I believe I've exhibited both in my posts, and I know you have. You're a credit.
Though regardless, there is a certain, I suspect deceitful, group of FReepers who will accuse thee and me of "hatred" every time. Our posted words will prove the lie. :^)
Thanks for the kind words.
You’re right, we have no control over the words that others use against us. It’s very painful for them to be so crippled by fear of the future that they feel bound to commit themselves to a vote that makes them feel such personal shame. So, it should come as no surprise that they feel the need to strike out at others, particularly those of us who have chosen a path that we know to be honorable.
