If you do not wish to see RF posts, do NOT use the "everything" option on the Free Republic browse option list. Instead, browse by "News/Activism." When you log back in, the browse will reset to "everything" - so be sure to set it back to "News/Activism."
No worries, Mod — a good night’s sleep always leads to a fresh outlook. When I have the time to finally unwind and think things through, I realize it doesn’t affect me, and — honestly — it never will. It’ll do me good to remember that (again). ;-)
Thanks for the forum tip.
