Wow, thanks, Billie! I needed that! I have so many enemies on FR. Sadly, it's always the same pattern. We start out friends, we run into an issue on which we disagree, they get personal and decide they want me to shut up and go away.

I wonder how many people this happens to when they have, over the years, taken a different position (outside the majority FR view) on Elian, the crash in Queens, the WOD, third parties, you name the issue. The weird part is that most of the people who seem to intensely dislike me would find agreement with me on the vast majority of issues. It seems to be all or nothing for them.

Best example I can give is a gal on the recent death of actor Harris. She is clearly a big movie buff and I wanted to ask her about something, her opinion, etc. on that thread. But I can't because she disagreed with me over something (whatever that was) once. At that time she got personal and wanted me to shut up and leave, where we once had fun dialog.

It's sad, but apparently has to be that way for some around here. Oh well, can't control the choices of others. I just think it diminishes FR - in it's texture and probably in the quality of activism.

I like you too....despite what they say about you....JUST KIDDING! (Everyone loves Billie!)
