Yeah. Gotta watch us writers! We sneak one in when least expected! :D BTW, have you seen your picture yet?

I don't know that Linnea reads every post every day. I know she tries to be fair.

Hi Iris, :)

It is nice to see you. I wanted to make my other posts first and seldom post my political thoughts for the reasons expressed.

Well hello there, old friend! Glad to see you're among the living and posting.

Well, you know how political forums are. They can be pretty rough and tumble. But I'm sorry you don't post more. And I'm sorry if I'm one of the reasons for that. I know you and I have had our differences, which is fine, but I've always liked you.

Iris, :)

We joined the ship about the same time and have been through much together. I have always considered you a friend.

Wait a minute... you mean this is new to you now? I've been hearing these allegations for years.

Some owners apply the rules just black and white across the board, period. I think if that's what folks want they should look for it, though I do think it's pretty hard to find.

Other owners look at the whole picture and tend to take better care of those who have been good strong contributors for years, and give less favor to those who seldom post except to make trouble. I can certainly understand that point of view.

Yeah, look at that. We joined on the same month. You're observant.

Thanks for the kind words. I wonder if you would have been surprised to see me donate to Ron Paul's campaign?

What does that have to do with anything?

But since you asked, I've largely been on a huge political forum where the owner favors righties. Seriously. It was excellent training for me.

Oh, and on a home decorating forum. Maybe Linn will let me give you the name of that one if you'd like to work on your interior design. lol!

I had to let the dogs out but wanted to come back and amend this to say I can understand BOTH points of view -- from both members and from owners. It's different strokes for different folks.

I have a strong sense of justice which is why the issue gets under my skin. Now that I 'have seen the light', I know where you've been going with this... Thank you. :)
