HZ discussions are like safe sex. Instead of a condom, we have a screen.

There ARE discussions here, and one's participation in them MAKE them discussions.
Except, we have a few extremists at the party.
Anywhere else, we'd only "discuss" things with people we felt an affinity for.
Here, we have to put up with those whose ideas seem foreign or limited to us.
And Mary Anne, you are the lamplighter around here for people's thoughts. You can point out in a minute what several of us may try to do over mnay posts.

I get irritated with the attitudes around here as well, but it just shows me how tolerant we all must be if we're ever gonna all get along, nationally or internationally.
The moderators have given us the Flame board to vent our feelings and observations, and I even find THAT interesting and informative.

Trust me, I've thought about leaving this place for GOOD........yet I always come back, because the others DO......

And some times I just HOWL at someone's comments.
You're one of the best there is.
You take your ruler and WHAP the best of them.
Please keep it up.
I'll send you a free box of Zantac.
